Default What's the name of this apple?

A long time ago I ate red apples that had little yellow chunks in them
that tasted like pineapple. They were the best tasting apples I ever
ate. Anybody know the name of this variety?

The closest I can come to that is an apple I grow called a Pitmastin Pineapple. It is
a small russeted apple (not red) that supposedly has a pineapple taste. I don't detect
the pineapple taste, but the apple itself is very flavorable.

Here is a web site you may want to check about breeding apples to have a pineapple
taste:

Let us know it you find out which apple this is.
