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 have learned honeycrisp apples trees which would grow in my area, so
I might plant one. I shall still plant seedlings to help apple trees.
U. Minnesota has done it and it has found the honeycrisp.
