I Got 10 Apple-Like Fruits for ₦50 — What Fruit Is This?

I stopped at my usual fruit seller today, but she was not around because it had been raining since morning. On my way home, I saw a boy selling these fruits from a tray on his head. I asked for the price and he said ₦50. I expected that amount to buy just one or two pieces because fruits are expensive here. To my surprise, he packed eight pieces for me, then added two more after I questioned the price. I ended up giving him ₦200 because 10 pieces for ₦50 felt unbelievably cheap. The fruit looks like an apple, but I was told it is not. What is its name, what are its nutritional benefits, and is it healthier than an apple? Have you seen or eaten it before?
