      Could I really make apple chutney from them and it will taste just as good do you think?

      There are many different crab apples!
      It is impossible to say from a pic which one it might be.
      Malus sylvestris being the true sp.

      Crab apples are normally rather small.
      Malus x zumi Golden Hornet is a crab apple.

      Malus x robusta Red sentinel is another.

      There are many many more!

      Try using the apples for a tart or pie..or just stew them.
      Why not just make some apple chutney and see if you like it!
      Chutney is so very easy to make

      I fail to see why giving your apple a name will make any difference.
      Call it Malus Jungle Jane!
      Just enjoy it.
      If you want an apple that is a perfect eating apple why not plant a small tree ...of a named Malus domestica...there are many wonderful eating apples.eg.
      Malus domestica Lord Lambourne.
