This is a question I answered a long time ago. At that time, I only analyzed it from a grammatical perspective. Now revise the answer:
Didn’t the person who asked the question say, “I saw apple red somewhere and it’s just such a short sentence.” So I looked up apple red and maybe I know the origin of apple red. I found an English children's song, song title: apple round apple red
Lyrics: apple round apple red
apple juicy apple sweet
apple apple I love you
apple sweet I love to eat
If this is the source, the answer should actually be apple red is an omission of Apple is red. Just like Chinese songs, there are many in Chinese songs Such an omission.
