I have seen this phenomenon in Red Delicious. Every year the same limb on the same tree had apples half red and half ugly purple. It wasn't always exactly half. Sometimes it was a "slice" - 1/4 or 1/8 of the apple. Always a straight line top to bottom separating the colours. Curious but not so pretty as the one shown.
