Yes, it looks like a quince but before you start cooking them up and serving them for dinner, cut one open - it will look like an apple inside.

If its a quince, they won't be ripe until late fall, when they will turn bright yellow. The riper they get the more perfume-y they smell. They must be cooked to be edible. Quince jelly is one of my favorites. Quince sauce over steam cake or ice cream is pretty awesome too.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost
