The have worms so apple sauce may be out of the question. Guessing they still have about 2 months to ripen. That or hail damage. I seldom get a apple without hail damage. An apple the size of a pea or marble carries the ding until ripe from what I have seen.

Not ripe. So they're likely gonna be bigger in a month or two.

They look like Lodi to me. We used to have a similar apple called a yellow transparent. Mine will be ripe in about a week. Small apples can be caused by to much fruit on the tree which is what yours look like. If a Lodi fruit will turn a lighter green when ripe, I think yours are almost there.

If they are ripe now they are probably "Transparents'", a cooking apple; very good for apple sauce and pies. early Transparents are long gone here in wv, the ripin early june and fall off, they are a creamy off white when ripe.

I have some "Heritage" apple trees I dug up off a old homestead up near Ely, MN. They ripen VERY early and by now are a bag of apple sauce on the vine. The critters don't care and eat them anyway.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Interesting you would ask that. There is definitely a limb grafted on that appears to be crabappple. I'll harvest some and see what happens.
