That's the fun of it - it's a crapshoot.
99/100 apple seeds will give you worthless crabapple-like junk if they even produce anything at all. With peaches, plums, cherries & apricots you're likely to get a really nasty excuse for a stone fruit, those rarely work out into something truly delicious.
Avocados are great. They sprout easily, they grow up quickly with nice big leaves, though without aggressive trimming they will be too tall for your house before they produce good fruit.
Ginger is usually pretty successful, though you'll want to go for the healthiest-looking rhizome you can find. It won't grow a tree by any means, and you likely won't see it flower unless you have the conditions just right, but they do make pretty foliage.
