For those you concerned about it, I was wondering if you have tried many of those available from the USDA GRIN.

This link has 14 selections developed by the PRI co-op that were never released but were noted to have moderate, very good, or excellent cedar rust resistance.

I am growing 1841-11, grafted last spring.
 
I grafted a couple 1981-1 last spring. But I chose it for fireblight resistance
 
Looking for a variety resistant to Scab and cedar apple rust - here's one.

“This new variety will likely supplant ‘Kingston Black’ (the current bittersharp cider apple benchmark) because it’s far easier to grow, is a prolific annual producer and shows no signs of scab or cedar rust,” says Cameron Brown, Stark Bro’s president and CEO. “It’s going to change the cider industry.”

Got two of these coming this spring based on the resistance and an awesome pollinator to most apples. If they thrive I will probably add more at a later date or graft them onto rootstock if I can ever figure grafting out.
