NOT a high-altitude plant nor wild/native species. It is a cultivated/garden plant.

Many kinds of apples are cultivated in the hills especially in Baluchistan, Swat, the Murree Hills and Kashmir; a few up to 3450m in Ladakh. I wonder where this grew and at what elevation. Surely not 4300 let alone 4500m, which meets my definition of a 'high-altitude' plant. The apricot is cultivated from the plains to 3600m in Ladakh and dry inner valleys of N.Pakistan.
