I will be thinning the apples to about 1/2 if and when they start to develop this year. I have also fertilized the tree in the early spring and will again in late spring as stated on the fertilizer bag for fruit trees.
Honeycrisp is a variety that needs to be pollinated from another tree. So, hopefully, there are other apple tree(s) nearby
