Apples evolved from a primitive plant related to the meadowsweet. Serviceberries evolved into hawfruit, which changed to medlars, which became the pearple. From the pearple came the crabapple and the wild pear. The ancestor of the pearple had crossed with a shrub called Indians Physic to produce a new fruit with double the chromosomes of its predecessor. This happened at the end of the Cretaceous, when harsh conditions caused accellerated evolution. The apple started out in the southeastern United States, crossed the Bering Strait and spread all over the Northern Hemisphere. The ancient Turks in the Ili Valley of Kazakhstan were the first to breed the domestic apple from the crabapple. They crossed the wild pear from the Caucasus with the crabapple to produce the round Asian pear. And that's really where apples came from! Actually, the pearple had difficulty breeding with its own kind, and was never very numerous. But it bred with ease with related species, giving rise to many strange things. It bred first with the cotoneaster, giving rise to the crabapple. As it crossed Eurasia, it gave birth to the loquat. The last pearples reached the Caucasus, where they all interbred with quinces and became....that's right!....the pear! Hope this helps. Oh, by the way, the mysterious fruit that crossed with Gillenia (Indian's Physic), was the haw-medlar (Crataemespila), itself a hybrid between haws and medlars. The ancient Turks found many of the strange progeny of the pearple (some in Yunnan), and subsumed them into the crabapple, producing the domestic apple. They were truly alchemists of fruit.

The apple fruit comes from where the tree bears fruit, the top of the tree it is formed when the flowers close up and ripen. Then they form the fruit.
