Gymnosporangium juniperi-virginianae
"..where apples or crabapples (Malus) and Eastern red-cedar (Juniperus virginiana) coexist, cedar apple rust can be a destructive or disfiguring disease on both the apples and cedars." - wiki
Great find! This is a type of fungus that affects apple and cedar trees. This spotting should be placed in the Fungi category. :-)
