fermenting apple slices safe?

Safe to drink? Yep.

Good to drink? I guess you'll find out in a couple weeks but I doubt it
I would very much suggest that you change that bakers yeast over to a dry brewers yeast (US-05 is a good neutral one).

Not to any harmful level. Beer as a pretty low pH which, along with the hops and alcohol, suppresses the growth of pathogenic bacteria.

The poster isn't making wort, he's fermenting sugar water with apple slices. Who knows what the PH is, there aren't any hops involved, and we don't know anything about the sanatization practices that were used. Probably isn't going to kill anybody but we don't have enough information to render judgment.

There's a cider forum here, it's entirely possible to make something decent from preservative free store bought juice. I like a different dry yeast (Nottingham rather than US-05) but it probably would work well too. Avoiding wine/champagne yeasts will yield better results too.

Since we are about crafting beer, wine, mead, and cider (whether inexpensive or not), and this thread is not on topic with "fermentation & yeast" and is going nowhere, it will be closed at this point.
