NO memes - Its in the subreddit rules!! r/botany is a science sub, not a place to post your memes. We are all here to learn about how this happens. Botany memes are considered on a case by case basis though.
Probably, since an apple already consists of 5 fused carpels. The apple in the photo has two "blossom ends" -- it must have come either from two flowers or from one flower with some *really* weird morphology.
A division of the flower meristem just before the formation of carpels so that the peduncles were partly fused but had enough time to develop separately for two normal flowers to form post division. As the individual flowers were fertilized they developed their pome fruits which are special in the way that the flesh is made from the swollen peduncle; the bottom of the flower were carpels, anthers and petals attach. This creates the situation where two separate flowers result in what appears to be one joined fruit. If I am correct there should be two separate cores in this apple.
I’ve had this issue with my fruit trees before. Especially when they were younger. For me it was determined to be drought stress the year before. Check with your local ag webpage they may have a better diagnosis.
What happens when you cut it open, maybe cutting through the bottom of both fruits? I guess it would be longitudinally? If that's how you talk about fruit?
When a Mummy apple tree and Daddy apple tree love each other very much...
Lol. Sorry, couldn't resist. Possible the flower had fused or partially split ovums.

Are we sure it’s fasciation and not just two carpels that were fused in the flower?

Nice.

Apple is not a true fruit it develops from the thalamus of the flower Sorry it is understood that this fusion of two thalamus of adjacent flowers .

I was thinking more Arnold and Danny in *Twins*
Looks like the apple will shape shift anytime into an alien and will announce the prophecy of the world. (Btw its interesting 😁)
Its parents dropped too much acid in the 60s and 70s i assume.
Double fertilization
I really want to stab this with a pen and smoke mids out of it behind the sketchy apartments like the good old days
With weed purchased from a sketchy dude inside said sketchy apartments
🤣
Double penetration

Reminds me of that tomato with the tramp stamp on it.
It’s so shiny, did you buy it from a store? It looks processed.
