It's the Loquat!
According to the infinitely expanding Wikipedia-verse, the loquat is native to central China (though the contemporary perception is that this fruit hales from Japan), and is similar to the apple in taste, sugar, acid, and pectin content.
Interesting fact about the loquat, it blooms in late autumn and the fruits ripen on the tree during winter months.
