Has anyone tried this with any success? I have a medlar that produces fruit this year and I wasn’t impressed. It’s pretty bland. So I was thinking of grafting it over to an apple, but I’m not sure if it will take.

Maybe consider changing the title. What you are describing is grafting apple onto medlar and not the other way around like the title says
Or include the word “over” graft medlar OVER to apple

As a reminder, the first years something provides fruit are not always repesentative of what it will be.

Do you recall which medlar cultivar you have? Just like many other fruits, flavor and texture varies between varieties.
I think this one is Breda giant
That’s not surprising you didn’t care for it then. I find the giant ones impressive for size, but inferior in eating quality. I would encourage you to try top working with some more average size medlar cultivars to try before writing off the whole species.
