Default Apples from seed

Have anybody tried it? I am wondering if you save seeds from apples grown in
a normal garden, the seeds will likely be cross pollinated and the offspring
F1 - so theoretically the offspring should give fairly healthy, large
apples. The taste cannot be guessed.

I keep hearing people saying that the new tree is highly unlikely to produce
good/eatable/normal apples. Is that really true?

Would it be worth trying just as a fun experiment? If the offspring is
interesting one could graft it on some existing tree.

Jette
