I have two apple trees bro. There are only a couple apple trees that are self pollinators. If you only have one apple tree your **** out of luck without finding some pollin from another apple tree or a crab apple tree.
I take a small artist brush and swab the inside of the flower from one tree and then swab the flowers of the other tree. Bees do a pretty good job but i like to make sure while the trees are still small. If you Have any neighbors with apple tres that bloom at the same time yours does you could ask them if you could have a small limb with flowers and use it to pollinate.
Its important that if you get another apple tree make sure it blooms at the same time are your still fked.
I do have an crab apple (very small apples)
 
I had crabs once.
You had a great solution in getting rid of them......Shaved a path down the middle of your bush, set one side on fire and stabbed the varmints with an Ice Pick when they ran to the other side.

There is a way to measure, to actually quantify, your courage.

To catch a stone crab, you snorkel along until you see a hole in the sea bottom. This hole will be occupied by a creature that eats clams by picking them up with their claw and crushing the shell. TINS. No clam knife, just crunch strength

You reach you hand in and feel around (bare handed). You will feel the enormous shell of the crab, but you must be fairly quick with your move to grab the crab body and pull it out before it takes off finger or two.

Place the crab in your goodie bag. Swim along until you find another hole. Play finger roulette again.

My limit is three. After that, I just KNOW the bastage is going to take off part of my hand.

This is what they look like:
