Gravity appears sideways in your world.
The genus Malus is likely correct, although I'd wager crabapple given the leaf shape. Just see what forms for fruit later in the season.

Apple trees are not self pollinating (at least most aren't), so if it's an apple tree, you won't set gruit unless there's a pollinator nearby.

Re: Can you ID?
Ha, the darn site posts them sideways, I don’t know why.
It doesn’t have the jagged edges on the leaf but I would suspect crabapple. I have 3 other apple trees there that I planted myself so there are other pollinators. I’ll watch it this year again but it definitively had pollinators last year. Confuses me! This was a native tree when we bought the land.

Re: Can you ID?
That's a very good point about the leaves not having a serrated edge, or at least not seeming to, which crabapples do. But I'm not convinced. Try taking a closer look, maybe even getting some new pictures and posting them larger and upright. I think I see serration, but I'm done tilting my head.
