You have left out some important information. What variety of apple is this?
What
rootstock is it on. If it is on standard rootstock, it will be slower to
produce fruit
than a dwarf tree. It if is a tip bearer (fruit on the end of the branch),
excessive
pruning can cut off the next seasons fruit bearing branch tips. Is the tree
getting
enough sunlight? When you answer these questions, I might be able to help you.

Yes it is getting a lot of sunlight. It is a mixed variety. There are
5 types of apples on it (hybrid). it is not a dwarf tree, but it it
not huge either.it is about 17 feet of circumference. I f you want I
