What about the sentences? 'An' is used in each sentence. Can we use 'an' in this way?

It would be better to use "the" in place of "an" in all these. When you use "an," you're implying that it could be just any apple ... or maybe even all of them. But if you use "the," you are referring to a particular apple.
