Growing a Crabapple tree from cutting

Any advice on growing a crabapple tree from a cutting from an existing tree? I've tried planting 6" cuttings in a small pot with potting soil, taking advice from various googled sites, leaving a few new growth leaves at the end. It doesn't seem to be working. The leaves died fairly quickly and I don't feel like the stem is fairing well enough to take root. Any advice on better methods? Should I stay patient with it?

Air Layer a branch on the tree. There are tons of videos out there on air layering.
basically you take some moist potting soil, put in a ziplock bag then skin the branch you want to start, then put the ziplock bag with soil around the branch and secure it.
Wait a few weeks for the roots to appear then just cut of the branch and put it in a nursery pot.
