Presuming you mean a non-kitchen variety knife, I suggest an Opinel No. 8. If any knife is fair game then I suggest a Victorinox/Forschner paring knife. The thinner the better with apples!

My #10 has seen a lot of apples.
In its absence my Tenacious or Vantage do a fine job as well.

This guy.
Thin blade. I took the edge angle back a bit and convexed it. Then to the strop. LASER. GEC Pioneer
I may be color blind, but that's the weirdest looking apple I've ever seen, and I've eaten a Grapple.

a pairing knife or any blade under 2 mm. thick. Thicker than that and it's just not great, even the sebenza.
For cutting apples I've noticed a thin blade stock and lean blade geometry is more important than the edge geometry. The dull 1mm. thick pairing knife works better than the mirror polished Sebenza.

An increasingly dull Buck Bantam BBW (2 3/4 inch blade.)
It stays in my desk at work, where it opens or cuts all my lunch stuff, and never gets any pocket time, unlike my Spydies, BMs, Kershaws and Sebbies.
Its brother with the 3-inch blade stays at home in a kitchen drawer.
Got these two inexpensive utility knives years before I learned there was a knife world out there.
This apple-cutting admission may be the first in a 12-step process.......

A Swayback is hard to beat for peeling. As for as slicing, any will do, but a thin blade works the best.
I use my Case desk knife if at home. I usually keep a swayback jack(or gent) in my left pocket, and use one anytime I'm pulling the edge toward myself(peeling, whittling, etc...).

1st place goes to my Opinel
2nd would be my Skyline
3rd would be whatever SAK I'm carrying for the day
You would think the Skyline would be last of those three, but the blade doesn't stick like the shiny SAK blade does, zips right through an apple.

Kitchen knives (Tramontina paring knife), any and all slipjoints and any tacticool folders with a thin flat ground blade. Most of my fixed blades have been too thick to slice an apple skin with.
