Update:

Well, interesting. I just bottled after letting it cold crash. It is still sour/tart, but mellowed out a bit. There is a small amount of banana flavor, but it's more like the flavor of the smell of ripe bananas (if that makes sense)..still no apple. The smell is still mostly of alcohol but also ripe banana.

I've decided not to pasteurize (last gravity reading was 1.002), and I'm just going to let it bottle age for a few months in the basement. We'll see what the end result happens to be, but I'm slightly more optimistic.

Hmm. Good luck. 1.002 is fairly dry. I don't know if there will be enough sweetness to counteract the sourness; maybe you can dilute with lemonade or that fizzy apple drink if it's too sour.
