Chalk that response up to the fact that these teensy weensy apples taste sour at best and bitter at worst, despite being cousins to the apples you do eat. They hail from the plant genus, Malus, a part of the Rosaceae family. Yep. Apples of all sorts, including crab apples, are part of the rose family, which may explain why people grow crab apple trees. They produce pretty flowers, just not particularly tasty apples, despite the fruits physically resembling their larger, sweeter, cousins.
