The title says it plainly: this is an apple that grew out of its usual round shape, the kind of lopsided fruit that orchard workers once set aside before it reached market. Misshapen apples usually come from uneven pollination, frost, insect damage, or injury early in the fruit's growth, and the lumps and creases they carry record what happened on the tree that season. Growers have long sorted fruit by appearance, which is why odd specimens like this were so often passed over. The picture was shared on Flickr under a Creative Commons license.
