Yeast nutrient and time are your friends.
That depends. If it's more then a few weeks old, then it probably won't get better. If it's drinkable then drink it. If you haven't bottled it yet, and it's still young, then you might want to save yourself some effort and condition it all together for a while and see if it gets better.Should I just toss it?
IF it's under a month old, in primary, then give it a few more weeks and check it again. If it's been a week since you pitched the yeast, for god's sake leave it the F alone and let the yeast do it's job.
"green apple" flavor is GREEN BEER as in too bloody young to think about bottling. If you fermented on the warm side, then it's probably why it's even more evident. Just give it more time and check it again later.
99% of the time, new brewers will rush things due to being told by the LHBS short time frames. Without tight temperature control, pitching the right amount of yeast at the start, great oxygenation methods, those time frames (99% of the time) are bunk. Especially for ales.
It's been in primary for 2 weeks today
Then give it [at least] another 2 weeks right where it is. Without knowing what you made, what temperatures it fermented at, what yeast you used, it's impossible to say anything beyond give it TIME... Time will cure most ale's... There are some things it can't fix, but young beer is one of them.

It does have some particles floating in it when I've takin the FG
so i let it sit in fermenting for for another 2 weeks and all the apple flavor went away. thank you guys for all your help!!!
Now you know why we just leave our beers in primary until they're ready. IMO/IME, better to let them go another week or four than bottle/keg it too soon and be pissed off at what you pour to glass.
