Ginda,
I have an apple called Jupiter. It's a Cox's Orange cross from England.
1981.
Crawford describes it as large round-conical, greenish-yellow striped
and flushed orange-red; flesh white, sweet, juicy, aromatic, flavour
intense, robust; fruit often misshapen; pick early October, stores to
January. Triploid.
I haven't had fruit yet.

I asked what it was, but had trouble with the accent of the man who
answered. It sounded like 'europa' or 'jupiter', and might be something in
Hungarian. Does anyone care to guess what it was?
