Default too many apples?

OK, I've done the pruning ( last winter) fungus spray, and pesticide spray
and watered well now I think my tree has too many apples. Literally! I mean
there are apples everywhere! What do I need to do to help the tree with this
load? I have heard of people making braces from 2X4s and propping up limbs.


One apple for 25 leaves, so thin until you get that ratio. The
leftover apples should be reasonably well distributed around the tree.
