Dark apple

I bought a bag of organic Royal Gala apples yesterday, and today noticed that one of them either isn't, or is a very strange one. I've never seen an apple so dark. It looks more like a plum.

Have any of you seen such a thing? Is it an extreme variation of Royal Gala, or is it a type I don't know that somehow got into the bag?

You can see there's a fair variation in colour for the others.





At least it gave me a quick topic for today's art.

[Edit] It seems that apples that dark do turn up now and then. We'd just never seen one.
