Anyone know what this is?
Was out scouting and came across a patch of these in an overgrown field. They were growin on a thorny little plant only about a foot or two big, the were growing real close to the ground. The apple looking thing was very hard and had a lemony sour taste. I know i shouldnt have tasted it not knowing what it was but.

Quince
If it looked like the above, it could be "Quince ".

Any quince I've seen grew on a tree, similar to an apple tree.

Be helpful to see the skin side as well.

Looks and sounds like Quince. A pic of a leaf from the tree would help but it could be a crab apple from the UK, they have thorns and could have been planted by an immigrant looking to start a farm.

No it wasnt pear shaped, and the skin light green. the thorny little tree/bush was only about 1-2 ft and the fruit was growin near the ground, really puzzles me because it was just in a small area and no where else it noticed. I never seen this before.

Wish we had a wild edibles board...
Why do I buy 10 pounds of minnows to catch 3 pounds of fish?

A gatherer's section: That's where I'd answer this question, pics of the plant would be helpful though.
Ontario Out of Doors SHOULD include wild edibles right? Hunting, fishing, gathering.
A section like that would help us all, at some time or another.

It looks good. How did it taste?
If a tree falls on your ex in the woods and nobody hears it,you should probably still get rid of your chainsaw. Just sayin'....

Our neighbor has three bush quince, they are not always pear shaped , some are like squat apples [flattened ].
They male a tasty jelly from them.
