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?
To find the density of an apple, you would first measure its mass using a scale in grams. Next, you would determine the volume of the apple by either measuring its dimensions and calculating the volume of a sphere (if it's round) or by submerging it in water and measuring the water displacement. Finally, you would divide the mass of the apple by its volume to calculate the density in grams per cubic centimeter.
