I have a small bramley apple tree which came from Lidl.  Who are noted for getting the labels wrong.

Last year it fruited for the first time and had several large green bramley type apples.   So I was well pleased.  The other 'bramley' having produced a rather nice yellow apple.   But this year the apples are red.  Can anyone tell me do bramley apples go red?

Not fully no...they do get bit of blush on sunny side on the cheeck though.. :-\
Are they bramley-shaped fruit?

I had a bright red spot on one of our yesterday but it was only skin deep.

yes, either on the sunny side as goodlife said, or they can develop a red branch as a sport,  There is a Red version of Bramley that has come from propagating a red sport (mutation to red), similar to Red Delicious, which was a sport of a usual yellow delicious.

These are very red all over.  I know they were green last year, made an apple pie and baked a couple of them.
Nice tree nice fruit, but looks as if I still have not got a bramley.  Better pay a bit more.

Mine go a sort of purply red where the sun gets on them, and stay green in the shade. Any chance of a pic?

I will see what I can do
