Pretty sure that’s a pyracantha (firethorn) , loads of people grow them as ornamentals.

They are crab apples. 100%. Apple leaf, apple flowering/fruiting spurs. As someone said, there are a number of good gold varieties, but I am not sure it is Golden Hornet, whose fruit is usually a bit more elongated. I think I would plump for Malus Butterball; we grow both varieties. But I am not really sure it matters too much. Great for jelly (which is als0 golden) and heaving with pectin so a good addition to any other jam or jelly you want to set.
I have noticed this trend in this sub. People ask what is this showing pictures of a fruit tree. The answer is either crab apples or sloes.

Looks like Firethorn ???… they flower in summer with tiny white flowers in frothy clusters … the fruit(or berries) appear in autumn time.

In Portugal we call them Nespera, it’s Loquat or Japanese medlar! A sweet juicy fruit with between 2 or 4 big slippery seeds inside! The seeds take on quite well and people have one or two of these trees in their garden providing a free treat every year

crabbies. fantastic for jelly. better than normal apples for it. you can tell if its an apple by cutting horizontally and youll see a star shape.

They look like crab apples. Possibly Golden Hornet.
Those are loquats
Crab apple- the leaves give it away. Good for crab apple jelly!

Crab apples!
Looks like the loquat tree I have growing on my allotment, and the fruit I hope to have in a couple of years’ time!
They’re quite unusual in the UK.
It’s a crab apple tree
loquats/ medlar. delicious!!
Leaves totally wrong for Loquat (quite common in London gardens) but is a crab apple, Malus cultivar.

The ones on the left are crab apples
Definitely crab apple, specifically a variety like ‘Professor Sprenger’ or ‘Golden Hornet’.
Not loquat, the leaves are longer, darker, and bigger.
The leaves look the same as my tree
