    Mystery Solved

    Gymnosporangium juniperi-virginianae is a plant pathogen that causes cedar-apple rust. In virtually any location where apples or crabapples and Eastern red cedar coexist, cedar apple rust can be a destructive or disfiguring disease on both the apples and cedars.

    Which would explain why i found it on a cedar in a apple orchard

    I believe what you have there is called Cedar Apple Rust.
