Actually, I'm going to retract my previous statement. Apple Mortar might not be terrible. Cold Snapdragon is obviously better than him, and will probably perform the same role but better, though that should be expected.

If using Apple Mortar, he might be fairly helpful as an offensive support plant. He can start the level off for you thanks to his range (three columns isn't bad!), and his stun effect means he'll generally be able to handle the early zombies. You only need two of them to have coverage in all lanes, so it could give you enough time to build sun producers.

Gold Bloom will be very helpful when using Apple Mortar. Starting the level off with that extra sun, so you can get down both your sun producer and your Apple Mortar will be great.

Although you should probably just use Cold Snapdragon, since he has AOE, Apple Mortar does have the range advantage, and a stun to boot.
