Looks like crabapple, if so, fruit is bitter.

Intriguing! I do not know, but it might help someone to know where it is
growing and is it cultivated?

Could be a variety of Quince. Is the plant in question a bit fuzzy ?

I have one just for the flowers. Once made quince jelly in the day.

The foliage is not right for apple or pear, and does not look right for
quince--far too glossy. Are the leaves alternate (one per node) or
opposite (two per node)? In South Carolina, you might have any of a
number of subtropical ornamentals, including Camellia, which makes an
apple-like fruit.

A few more questions--

Is there milky sap? Can you show us what th inside of the fruit looks like?

Looks like a Kiefer pear to me. That's a cross between the Chinese
sand pear and Bartlett that is course grained and not very good eating
fresh. They are excellent canned. Can while still firm because they
never get really soft like a bartlett. It'll be another couple of
months before they are ripe enough to can. We have eaten them for
years.

It's definitely a camellia, most likely C. japonica although it might be
C. sasanqua. Even the blurred photo resembles a camellia bush. The
fruit is not likely edible, but it is also not likely toxic.

Usually the flowers fall off without forming any fruit. If you allow
the fruit to mature, the ripened seeds can be planted and might produce
a new variety of camellia.

Young leaves of the closely related C. sinensis are the primary
ingredient of commercial tea.

The leaves are alternatve. Also, yes, some of the fruits can be VERY
milky. A few seem more dry, particularly the bigger ones.

Here are some pictures of the inside one of the larger ones:
