My dad was an excellent grafter and if I remember, he always said to do it before last freeze. He cut both trigs at a sharp angle alw wrapped string around them to hold them in place together, then worked beeswax around them and then wrapped with light cloth or gauze. Just let the string and gauze to rot naturally without bothering them.
He had one tree with 4 diffrent varieties of apples from late summer to late fall. Also had one tree with 4 different varieties of fruit, apple, peach, pear and plum.
The grafted branch determines what is produced, regardless of the parent or host stock and any similar host can be used. I would say yes, that the crabapple would be a good host for your domestic apple(s)
Right now is likely too late to do it for this year, but what have you to lose by trying? Biggest stress now is the leaves catch the wind and nay destroy the splice before it has a chance to heal.
