Welcome to the Ranch!
Please UseAMeaningfulSubjectLine for the topics you start.
As for your question, the answer is - none. The relationship between Apple and BagOfApples (if they really reflect what their names are) does not correspond to the relationship inheritance represents.
For instance you might have one class, say Fruit, that would be the base class for your Apple class.
Check tutorial on Inheritance to get a better understanding of what it actually is.

If you can say "ClassA IS A ClassB", then you have a case for making a sub-class. As Kemal implied, and Apple is a Fruit, so Fruit would be the base class, and Apple would extend it.
Your example is one of composition. a BagOfApples CONTAINS Apples. So, your BagOfApples would most likely have some kind of collection (an ArrayList, a HashMap, etc) that you put Apples into.
