Hi, Victoria -
I am not an expert but the pictures look like star fruit that I've seen in stores in the US.
Here are a few links that popped up when I searched for star fruit:

Subject: IDENTIFICATION OF FRUIT SAMPLE
Dear Ruth
please can you help me to identify the real name of the fruit attached to this mail. Its an underutilized fruit in Nigeria and a friend through which I got the sample claimed it is highly nutritious and that it is called Africa Star Apple but I found out that the name is used for Cherry known as agbalumo in Nigeria.
Also, I have taken a sample of the fruit to botany department in my institution but they seem not to know the fruit. Infact I can only get the fruit sample just from a source because its not common. I intend analysing the fruit to determine the nutrients composition.
Please kindly help with any useful information.
Thanks
