Jerry, 
The photo you posted is a picture of Victoria's "Hampshire
Red", a seedling of Hampshire she selected, which I suspect has a
red-fleshed crab as the pollen parent - foliage is purple tinted(at least
early in the year), blossoms are rosy pink, bark is dark, wood is dark
purple.
Vic says the fruit is small - comparable to the "Lady" apple in
size, with good flavor, but is not  red-fleshed.
