An actually helpful grammar lesson:
Do not say:
"It is my dad and I's apple."
"It is my dad's and mine apple."
"It is my dad's and me apple."
"It is me and my dad's apple."
"It is mine and my dad's apple."
Just say:
"It is my dad's and my apple."

What about if both you and your dad prefer to use gender-neutral pronouns?

I don’t share apples, so I don’t need this.

It’s only wrong because first-person pronouns come last.
