Can you add a photo of the tree and its leaves please? It does look like an apple, the fruits don't have to be round.

Maybe a crabapple, or maybe a flowering quince.

Cut it in half, see what's inside, whether its a core with pips similar to apple, or whether its a stone. It would be very useful for ID purposes to have a photo of the tree itself...

Nope, my memory was playing tricks on me. It's not Flowering Quince (Chaenomeles). By fruit appearance alone, most likely a crabapple. Malus floribunda is my first suspect, but it could easily be one of many hybrids. As Bamboo & Landgirl say, photos of the leaves and growth habit would be very useful in identifying it.
