Like Whip said, seems to depend on the variety.
This place I live on was settled by an apple farmer.
"Old growth" orchard in the front field and the woods/field edges are full of trees, this being the "big crop" year(every second year here). Some trees are bare now and one, a yellow delicious planted by the guy I bought the place from, has its fruit to late November. That tree is 70' from the house and is hard hit until cleaned up. Big scrape there last year.
Monitor your tree(like THAT has to be said!) and then you'll know for future seasons.
