Not entirely true...
there are "juicing" or "cider" varieties of crabapples that yeild fruit a little larger than a baby's fist.
I have one suc on my property. they whole area in which my house was developed was, at the turn of the 20th century, a massive apple orchard, with a lot of cider business, so we have a lot of apples, wild, in the area. I have three varieties in my 1/2 acre alone.
If it werent for the bugs, I'd be floating in cider.

Upon the hempen tackle ship-boys climbing;
Hear the shrill whistle which doth order give
To sounds confused; behold the threaden sails,
Borne with the invisible and creeping wind,
Draw the huge bottoms through the furrow'd sea,
Breasting the lofty surge: O, do but think
You stand upon the ravage and behold
A city on the inconstant billows dancing;
For so appears this fleet majestical,
Holding due course to Harfleur.
