Apple shares

[stochastic]

You should just structure this as a bond that uses the Apple stock as collateral.  For the coupon payments, just set them up as the dividends that apple pays to you in the form of USD.

I would suggest not holding only one security though, do a basket.

if I sell the stock on GLBSE, the asset holders are the ones entitled to the dividends.

Heh, ... so you'll be getting the 1099 for the dividends (and for the proceeds for when you sell the AAPL shares also)?

Just read up on 1099. It's really sad how the US is turning into Europe when it comes to regulation and controls. Worse, in some cases. Not sure how this applies to me as a foreigner - I'll have to ask the broker.

Turning into?

1099s have been around for quite a while.

Incidentally, a new exchange is offering options (including $AAPL).  There are not CALL or PUT options listed yet, and it is ..., yet another exchange operated anonymously, so remain aware of the risks of that.
