Apple trees with unusual pink or red flesh

The vast majority of apples have white or cream flesh, but several crab-apples have fruits with red-flesh, often coupled with crimson blossom, and anthocyanin pigments in the leaves and stems.  Breeders have tried to develop eating apples which incorporate the red or pink flesh colours, without the bitter crab-apple flavours.

Eating these apples fresh (including the skin) is likely to give you the most benefit from the anti-oxidant qualities of all those anthocyanins. Red Devil is probably the sweetest of these varieties, although the extent of red colouration in the flesh is modest. Tickled Pink and Roberts Red have more extensive coloured flesh.

All these apples can be pressed to produce very pretty juice.
