How long for secondary?

[those_guys]

I have about 3/4 gallon of cider in secondary fermentation. To which I have added a sliced apple for extra flavor.

Do I leave the apple in the cider the entire time?

How long should I wait until bottling?

I have another 1/4 gallon of cider in a primary fermentor. Is it a bad idea to add that to the 3/4 gallon. I only ask because I have the space to do it.

The sliced apple probably isn't going to add much more than a chance to infect the batch. Some people will add brown sugar, some will add cinnamon, etc.

If you think the combination of the two batches wouldn't create swamp water flavor-wise then it should be ok to combine them. After they both have finished fermenting that is.
