Weight is a very good approximation of MASS... but to determine EXACT mass is something you'd not be able to do in the "backyard."
Weight and mass are considered equivilent on the earth's surface. That is something that weighs 1 kilogram on earth has one kilogram of mass. It will only weigh 160 grams on the moon but will still have 1 kilogram of mass. To estimate the mass of an apple without a scale is to see how much water it displaces.

When a person takes a bite out of the apple do the apple mass stay the same?
No because now part of the apple is missing so the mass would be less. The total mass of the apple is not changed, but part of the mass is now in the biter's mouth.
How do you find density of an apple?
D = M/V so you could get a measuring cup and fill it partway with water. Then put the apple in. Because apples float you will will have to hold the apple underwater with a toothpick or needle (this will slightly change your measurement). Measure the new place the water is at. This is the volume (in ml). Then to find the mass you will have to weight the apple. Divide mass by volume and you'll have your answer in grams/milliliters.
What unit of measurement would you use to get the mass of an apple?

How does the mass of an apple compare to the mass of the same apple sliced into pieces?
The total mass of the apple remains the same whether it is whole or sliced into pieces. Slicing the apple into pieces does not change the total amount of matter in the apple.
Why does an apple fall to Earth?
The apple has mass. The Earth has mass. The apple falls down, and the Earth "falls" up. The Earth's motion is not measurable. The apple's motion is.
The mass of an apple in pounds?
"Pound" is a unit of force. It's not a unit of mass. The mass of an apple depends on the individual apple. If it weighs, say, 8 ounces on Earth, then its mass is 0.5 poundmass, or 0.015625 slug.
Does an apple have more mass then a paper towel?
Yes an apple takes up more space than a paper towel so there for an apple has a larger mass.
How dense is an apple?
To figure out the density of an apple you have to know the mass and the volume. To find the mass use a triple balance beam and to find the volume use a graduated cylinder. After you have the mass and the volume, do mass divided by volume and you should get the density. :)

What are two things that has mass?
Two things that have mass are an apple and a rock.
Why does an Apple fall toward the earth instead of the earth moving towards the Apple?
Because the mass f the Earth is way greater then the apple's mass. Though apple attracts earth it is so negligible that it is equal to 0
Would an apple have mass of about 250 kilograms or 250 grams?
The apple would most likely have a mass of 250 grams
When you drop the apple identifies all the forces actions on it as it falls and the corresponding reaction forces?
the apple and the earth accelerate toward each other. force on apple (and earth) f = ((G * earth mass * apple mass) / distance ^2 ) . earth mass = 5.974 * 10^24 kg apple mass = 0.5 kg distance (between centre of gravities) = 6 371 000 metres . f = 4.909938 newtons . acceleration of apple = f / mass apple = 9.8199 (m/s)/s acceleration of earth = f / mass earth = 8.219 * 10^-25 (m/s)/s
What is the mass of a 100 gram apple in kilograms?
The mass of a 100 gram apple in kilograms is 0.1 kilograms. This is because there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram.
