Having gone through nearly 9 months of acid reflux, I get the need to avoid acidic foods.

Nashi (sometimes called Asian pears outside of Japan) are less acidic than the apples and pears you are used to

Bananas should be a good choice

And another fruit with very little acid is the persimmon, which is in season now.
As well as the fresh kinds (should be a few to choose from) there are dried persimmons also. Fresh persimmons are called kaki in Japanese. Dried persimmons are called hoshigaki, there are so many kinds and these are prepared in so many ways that I could eat a different kind of dried persimmon every day for a year and there would still be more to discover. Have to admit that I don't like all of them, some I've found to be rather disagreeable, others have been delicious, sublime even.

Stay well!
