Sounds like apple mosaic virus.  It often shows up in the new foliage, then symptoms disappear as the season progresses.  I have trees with it and they show no distress or lack of productivity from it, though I never give scionwood from those trees.

My Ashmead's Kernal does not have variegated leaves.  Neither does the one tree at the local PYO place that grows it.  From where did you get your scion wood?  (If it's a commercial place that other NAFEXers might shop at.)
