The martini is gin, a bit of vermouth, and a green olive. If you put any apple in there, you're not drinking a martini and you're reminding everyone around you how much Scrubs has gone downhill. Your best bet is to simply find a gin you like, I'm partial to
Hendrick's but you're fine going with a name brand like Gordon's, Bombay, or Beefeaters, locate a decent dry French vermouth like
Noilly Prat, and then of course your olive. Experiment with measures of each, but I'd not suggest any less than a 4 to 1 ratio of gin to vermouth, because it's going to be too sweet.
