We have them in Indiana--do they have a rough exterior and a slightly lighter green interior with large black seeds? They're called Osage Oranges (aka hedgeapples). Don't try to eat them, though--they're simply seed pods, and the only other use I've found for them are as make-do baseballs (even then they break apart easily).

A picture would help.
I think it's Osage Orange (Maclura pomifera). It's a large tree, with large, dangerous fruits. They're good for throwing at your younger/ older brother. The fruit is very lumpy-bumpy looking.
I hope that this helps

Hedge Apple...Horse Apple, depending on what part of the country you are in. Come off the Bois'd'Arc tree. "VERY" hard wood. Used for pier and beam foundations here in Texas.

Depending on where you are! Here in Mo. it would be a hedgeapple. They are not edible for humans, much of our wild life open them and eat the inside. Many people put them around foundations and swear they keep bugs out???

If it is green and looks kind of like a brain, it's a hedgeapple.
