The question seems to be incomplete and the requirement for the answer has not been mentioned. So, I am giving a general answer since there are similar questions in other academic websites also.
The correct answer is - The grammar of the given sentence is Correct.
There is always a confusion as to when we should use the words 'Fewer' and 'Less'. Fewer is used for nouns that can be counted easily. Less is used for nouns which are countable.
Since the sentence in the question is talking about Apples, which can be counted easily, we can use the word 'Fewer'.
Example - "There are fewer apples than yesterday. But there is even lesser custard."
Apples can be counted, but custard cannot be counted.
