If a person, or group of people within one state, do some activity that affects interstate commerce, doesn't congress have the authority to regulate that activity?

No. "The Congress shall have power to [...] regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes."

So Ohio can prohibit the shipment of apples across it's borders? Or can charge a fee to allow for such transportation?
