Definitely hawthorn, but the leaves are not typical. Maybe Midland, or a hybrid.
The apple type could be a crabapple, or a wild seedling.

Hi Donola, thanks for supplying so many lovely photo's of your tree.
There are two Hawthorns native to Britain. Hawthorn and Midland Hawthorn. There is an easy way to tell them apart.
Hawthorn - Crataegus monogyna has one style, (the female part that sticks up from the center of the flower), Midland Hawthorn - C. laeigata has two or three styles.
Your tree, though having slightly unusual leaves, appears to have one style, ( which are clear on the lower flowers in pic.1), making it C. monogyna. I also assume you found this tree in your area?, in which Midland Hawthorn is very scarce.
As Hedera has suggested, it is difficult to say what kind of Apple you have as most are 'seedlings' with a very mixed parentage.
Dorts.

I have a Midland Hawthorn in my garden and it flowers later than Hawthorne. Is that usual? | | |
