Look around for yards with a few apple trees that don't have a crab
apple real near by. You could spot these in the spring when they
bloom. If you explain what you are doing, I'm sure the owner would
at least let you have some damaged fruit to save seeds from.
By the way, what ARE you doing? Are you hoping to get good apples
from seed? I can't think of any other reason why you would care if
they were pollinated by a crab apple or not.

I heard that phyto-hormones make seed sterile. If it is true, I would
avoid that also.
