3 people get a whole apple, two people get half an apple each and one whole apple is left. Good?

Close, but a whole apple should be given to each.

@GopherDanny They each get an apple but one person doesn't want it and so there is one left in the basket. Good?

@1hopefulman You are very close, but every person must have one apple.

Yes, the last person whom you will give the apple to will also take the basket.
