Clarence Randolph · Answer 1

You can increase the gravitational potential energy of an apple

by gluing it back onto the tree-branch that it fell from.

Actually, by just lifting it to any place higher than where you find it.

Charlee Pratt · Answer 2

By putting an apple up on high ground. (That is 1 example)

This creates a higher gravitational force, and when it falls down it would have a lot of kinetic energy. But, if put on low ground, it wouldn't have enough potential energy to increase the kinetic energy.
