A lot of Apple's personality and the reasoning behind her actions can be found in the book, The Storybook of Legends. It really sheds light on the world of EAH and I really would suggest giving it a read.

Anyway, onto Apple. I don't believe that she's inherently selfish, only perhaps misguided. She believes that following your destiny is the best thing for everyone. Raven might be shunned and treacted as evil, but at least she hasn't been wiped from existence! Apple was only trying to do the best for raven and the rest of the people in her story, trying to keep them safe and existing.

As for the mirror thing, I'm not sure but I'd say it's like a designer item? We've already seen that mirrors take on the roles of phones and tablets, so I'd say it's not a big deal.
