Answer 1

There are green apples. These are generally more sour than red apples and were more commonly referred to as “cooking” and ” eating” apples, respectively.

The way flavours for sweets are developed is usually by just throwing chemicals together that you know are safe to eat and seeing what they taste like.

The flavour was more than likely designated as “green apple” due to the general sour sweetness which is generally what you taste eating a green apple
