I ate many different red fleshed apples in Europe, so naturally...it was a treat.

Pretty and red flesh with a whie contrast...I too wonder if it really is a cross between Royal Gala and Braeburn.??

Here are a few similar crosses.

‘Envy’: A bicolor apple that was created by HortResearch and
is being handled by ENZA. Th is hybrid of ‘Royal Gala’ x ‘Braeburn’
is very sweet apple (high Brix), high fl avor and juice content and
maintains its fi rmness in storage. Th is apple will be available year
round, with dual hemisphere production. Currently there are fi eld
trials in New Zealand, the UK, France and the USA, and some
trialing is also being done with organic cultivation in Italy. ‘Envy’
is not yet available for sale due to the limited current production,
but the plan is to have similar volumes to Enza’s other specialty
club variety,’ Jazz.

‘

Jazz’ (‘Scifresh’): Developed in New Zealand, ‘Scifresh’
was granted USPP#13,888 in 2003. Jazz is a hybrid of ‘Braeburn’
x ‘Royal Gala.’ It is being grown in New Zealand and Washington
State (marketed by Oppenheimer) to provide dual hemisphere
production. New York growers do not have access to ‘Jazz.’ A
sport of ‘Jazz’ has recently been patented.

‘Kanzi’® (‘Nicoter’): A release from the Belgium program
Better3Fruit that has been patented in the US (USPP#17,201 in
2006). A hybrid of ‘Gala’ x ‘Braeburn’, ‘Kanzi’ is productive and has
good consistency for size and shape. Th e name is South African
for “hidden treasure.” A company-GKE (Greenstar-Kanzi-Europe)
was developed to help commercialize ‘Kanzi’ and ‘Greenstar’ in
Europe. Storage disorders may include internal browning. VOG
and VIP have been granted rights to market ‘Kanzi’ in Italy. From
the www.kanziapple.com website: Currently there are 2.6 million
trees planted throughout Europe and each season a further

PremA153: A bright yellow apple with a hint of a pink blush,
this selection has full fl avor and a fi rm and crunchy texture. It is a
hybrid of ‘Royal Gala’ x Braeburn’ and has plant variety rights and
will be released under a trademarked name. Th is Prevar selection
has been licensed exclusively with Johnny Appleseed Holdings
Limited (NZ Yummy brand). Small volumes of fruit are available
in 2009.

I have one red apple that I grafted from my grandfather's tree. Green skinned, pinkish-red flesh.

I've also gotten scion wood from the USDA for 12 pears accessions, two of which were red fleshed. Sanguinole (http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/search.pl?PI+277529) and Rotkottig Frau Ostergotland (http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/acc/search.pl?accid=%20PI+295094)

The company marketing this is claiming it's the world's first red fleshed apple:

This is of course nonsense!

Sanguinole (PI 277529)

- Very similar or identical to 'Summer Blutbirne' (blood pear) from Germany, 'Rotkottig frau Ostergotland' (red flesh from Ostergotland) in Sweden, and 'Lubenicarka' (watermellon pear) from former Yugoslavia. This old pear is of consequence only on account of the color of its flesh. According to Claude Mollet, 1810, it was imported to France from Switzerland. It was known in Germany in 1500. Fruit: below medium or small, variable in form, turbinate- obtuse, or globular, bossed; skin rather thick and rough, green dotted with gray and red, sprinkled with streaks and patches of russet, and sometimes slightly carmined on the face exposed to the sun; flesh transparent, red, simi-fine, semi-breaking, juicy, saccharine, acidulous, more or less musky, agreeable; second sometimes third (Hedrick's rating) the flesh decomposing rapidly; August and September.
