It's a Prairifire Crabapple. In the spring it's covered in gorgeous pink flowers and in the fall it has these little red apples.

I was beginning to think they'd never show up! I see them in the nearby woods but this is the first they came to my yard.

Seems like a good day to revisit this old favorite. . . Winter Storm Fern has already dropped several inches of snow here in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania.
