The message m
from jayjay contains these words:

Is there anyway you can make eating apples sweeter? or is it a daft
question?
We normally wait until the first few have dropped before picking the rest.
Some early varieties are best eaten off the tree and will deteriorate in
storage, whereas the late varieties store well and may even improve in
flavour..

Our Egremont Russet has been dropping fruit early this year; they look
ripe, but like the OP's apples, they're much less sweet than usual. We
wondered whether they're less-than-ripe but are dropping because of
heat/drought stress?
