Of course they do, as your example of a fake apple indicates. As you said, they deceive and limit until the deception is exposed. For thousands of years human consciousness perceived and believed that the universe emanated from our local environment. That false belief persisted until we were able to view things from a much more enlightened perspective. It seems foolish to believe that the senses are no longer deceiving us. Ultimate truth is most certainly not how it currently appears to us through the senses.
A particular sense cannot err in sensing its proper object. Our perceptions regarding our sensations are fallible, however.
Otherwise, how could I ever know that fake apples exist?
