the above are just a few of the sources I could find for a few medieval 
apple recipes.  I did find some about crab apples but I think that apples 
were more popular.  Also, from what I can tell from the art of the times, 
there are many more pears depicted than any other large fruit. It almost 
seems fashionable to be caught eating a pear.  Below is a link that I found 
that discusses the description of the apple-some of those descriptions lead 
me to believe they may be talking about pears.  I hope this is helpful to 
you:)
