because this depends on the mass, as being in smaller in mass earth is able to attract an apple. while in the case of moon the gravitational is not this much stronger.

I think mass of the apple is much smaller than that of moon :|

HERE'S YOUR ANSWER
According to the Kepler's law of planetary motion, every object in space attracts every other object with an equal and opposite gravitational force.
When Earth's gravitational force pulls the moon, the Moon's gravitational force also pulls earth towards the moon.
Both the forces are equal and opposite and hence get cancelled out.
This is the reason why moon doesnot fall on the Earth.
But, being in the gravitational field of Earth itself, the apple falls.
