How Do You Spell APPELBAUM?
Pronunciation: [ɐpˈɛlba͡ʊm] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "appelbaum" in English is not phonetic. It is pronounced /ˈæpəlbɔːm/ (ap-uhl-bahm) in IPA phonetic transcription. The "p" and "b" sounds are often confused, making the spelling difficult. In Yiddish, the word "applebaum" is spelled אַפּלבוים and pronounced /aˈpləbɔjm/ (ahp-luh-boym). Despite the differences in spelling, both pronunciations refer to a surname meaning "apple tree" in Germanic languages.
