This is wonderful news--both The Golden Apple and To Be Undone!!
How long is The Golden Apple? (Presumably at least 50k!) I think you should definitely publish it--either self publish or seek representation etc. etc. for trad publishing. But self-publishing is something to consider if what you want is to have it be available to give to people (or have people buy) as a physical object. And you never know--word of mouth, etc....
ETA: And there's also the middle ground of small-press publishing--like me with Annorlunda Books. They don't have much more reach than self publishing, but it's *not* self publishing, so people will consider reviewing the work, etc., and many small presses are very dedicated. Certainly Annorlunda Books, but also (just to name a few) Mythic Delirium Press, Rosarium Press, Aqueduct Press, Small Beer Press (which is actually a pretty big and prestigious small press--its cofounder won a MacArthur genius award).
ETA 2: And the thing about these small presses is some of them you can approach without an agent.
