Windfall apples will definitely attract deer if there are any in the
area.

While it is illegal in most places to bait game, say by putting
out hay or a salt lick right before opening day, it is not illegal
to make a habitat more inviting through permaculture: creating
clearings in forests by timbering to allow wild pastures to form,
digging a pond etc.

My parent's 50 acre lot was part of a forest that was two miles deep
and two miles wide with little or no agriculture. There is a ravine
that cuts across the middle of all that bush including through our
lot. Over 100 years ago someone planted apple trees every couple of
hundred yards along the ravine bottom. By the time I was old enough
to hunt there were grain and hay fields to the west and a beaver
pond to the east. That ravine was a deer highway and if I wanted
meat for the table all I had to do was sit back leaning against a
tree anywhere along the top of that ravine and wait quietly for an
hour or so.

Since you are not fond of venison here's a pair of beef recipes ...

      Title: Filet Mignon Stanley 1
 Categories: Beef, Steak, Creole, Dairy, Fruit
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      2 c  Heavy cream
           Salt and white pepper
      3 tb Fresh horseradish; shredded
      6    Pieces fillet mignon
      2 ts Creole meat seasoning
     10 tb Butter
      6    Bananas
      2 ts Curry powder
 
  Preheat oven to 350. Bring cream to a boil in heavy saucepan over
  medium high heat and boil rapidly until reduced to 1/3 of its
  original quantity, or about 2/3 cup. Add a pinch each of salt and
  pepper and stir in horseradish. Set aside and keep warm.

  Sprinkle filets with Creole Seasoning and saute in 6 tablespoons
  butter in a hot iron skillet to doneness desired, 2 to 3 minutes
  on each side. While filets are cooking, melt remaining butter in a
  9x12 inch baking pan. Peel bananas, cut lengthwise, and arrange in
  the pan in the melted butter. Turn to coat bananas on both sides,
  sprinkle with curry powder, and bake until slightly soft, about 5
  minutes.

  TO SERVE: Put a heaping tablespoon of horseradish sauce on each
  plate, place a filet on top, and garnish with 2 banana halves.

Quite frankly I can't see pairing bananas and beef steak.
