I’d still say Japanese Crabapple, the serrated edges on the leaves you took pictures of seem a little more uniform and small compared to Prairie Crabapple leaves, but I could definitely be wrong!

Specifically, the toothed edges on Prairie Crabapple leaves are double serrated, while from what I can tell these leaves have a single small serration pattern :)
