Yes but be sure to grate the apple into acidulated water (water with lemon or lime juice) to keep it's colour. You could also grate it into pure apple juice as well. It's great with pork if you're serving it unsauced the apple flavour adds to the taste.

All the time. I chop the apples, grate them up with the rotary grater that only airs around slaw time. Then straight into the mayo. No need to add citrus if they're covered from oxygenation. However the lemon can add a nice tang.
I like to salt my veggies for an hour or so first to leach out excess liquid. Rinse them in cold water and then put in the salad spinner to remove any excess water. Wrap them in a tea towel and squeeze out any remaining liquid. I then dress them with a little oil, lime zest and lime juice. Add mayo, S&P and celery salt to taste, cover in cling film and pop into fridge overnight as coleslaw tastes nicer the next day IMHO. Using this method almost guarantees no runny slaw the next day.
