The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates, but I did pass by the posted coordinates during the same day that I placed the cache.
Although I enjoy apples, they rarely stop me cold with a feeling of WOW. But the other day, that happened: I took a bite of an apple and thought, "This is REALLY good." I noticed it was a Cameo apple, and the idea for this puzzle was born. I looked at an article on Epicurious.com about 11 different varieties that are popular in the US right now. Seven of them can be seen on this page.
Your first step is solving the Sudoku puzzle below. After that, you may have to conjure some magic to extract coordinates. (Those familiar with Harry Potter may find it helpful to take a trip to The Leaky Cauldron!)

Bring water and a pen, and have fun!
Hey, where's the Granny Smith? Ok, here's some green.
