I could cut an apple "in half." Could I cut an apple in third/fourth/fifth, etc....
 
Use the search please. I've seen this topic like 5 days ago.
 
i think it is cut in halves, thirds, fourths, ...
 
Yes, you could cut it in half. Beyond that, it would be into thirds, quarters, fifths, etc. (That is, you would not say "cut it in quarter," but "cut it into quarters.")
