Which fruit is depicted in the picture?

"Crataegus" (commonly called hawthorn) is a large genus of shrubs in the family Rosaceae. They are found in Europe, Asia and North America. The name hawthorn used to be used for the species found only in northern Europe but is now used for the entire genus. The same name is also used for the related Asian genus Rhaphiolepis.

Hawthorn are shrubs and small trees. They grow to 5-15 m tall and have small fruit. The fruit, sometimes known as a "haw", is berry-like but structurally a pome containing from one to five pyrenes that resemble the "stones" of plums, peaches, etc., which are drupaceous fruit in the same subfamily.

Hawthorns provide food and shelter for many species of birds and mammals, and the flowers are important for many nectar-feeding insects.

The "haws" or fruits of the common hawthorn are edible. In the United Kingdom, they are sometimes used to make a jelly or homemade wine. The leaves are edible, and if picked in spring when still young, are tender enough to be used in salads. The young leaves and flower buds, which are also edible, are known as "bread and cheese" in rural England. In the southern United States, fruits of three native species are collectively known as "mayhaws" and are made into jellies which are considered a delicacy.

Serbian folklore that spread across Balkan notes that hawthorn is essential to kill vampires, and stakes used for their slaying must be made from the wood of the thorn tree.
