Local Crabapples your keeping an eye on?

I'm going to try my hand in grafting this year from this wild crab.i found it along the road in front of my foodplot. It has 2 inch apples that I thought were going to stay a tart green apple but the next time I went up they had a red blush and turned sweet. This tree has limited sunlight and was absolutely full of apples at one point. They seemed to start dropping early October and we're done before November started. You can see where the deer stripped alot of the apples and leaves on the bottom.
I wouldn't be surprised if that tree isn't an apple and not a crab. Graft it, train and prune it so the fruit gets plenty of sun and I bet the fruit sizes up a bunch.
