Well I bought the acorn flavor because we don't have apple trees here.

There isn't an apple tree within a hundred miles of where I am. I tried the persimmon flavor and we have a couple persimmon trees a few hundred yards away and they never touched it. The way I do it is I put out some corn in a place where I know where deer are a couple times to get them to stop. Then I pour a jug out on a stump and spread my corn on the ground and some on the stump. They will eat the corn and smell the Apple (they love apple's) then they eat the stump. I have done this for two years and my stump has been nuked. I avg 10 or 12 jugs a year and I believe in the stuff.

I have noticed though that it may take a bit for them to get used to it. I have seen that with food plots as well though. Deer are peculiar.
