It may take some time for the bubbles to stop completely as the
disolved CO2 works its way out of solution.

Not only will MLF make the wine flabby but a lot of the apple "taste"
comes from the malic acid. If a lot of it is converted to lactic acid
you may not have the apple taste you were hoping for.
