A new and distinct apple tree named ‘Howell TC11’ characterized by its fruit, which has an attractive red overcolor and distinctive red, red-purple and yellow-white flesh.

BACKGROUND OF THE VARIETY

The new apple tree ‘Howell TC11’ was created in the course of a planned breeding program carried out at Prosser, Washington. ‘Howell TC11’ originated from a controlled cross of ‘Honeycrisp’ (pollen parent, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 7,197) and ‘Arlie Red Flesh’ (seed parent, not patented). The cross was carried out in 2001 at Prosser, Washington. ‘Howell TC11’ was selected from a population of seedlings derived from the parents for further observation, and was first asexually propagated by bud grafting in 2015 in Prosser, Washington. ‘Howell TC11’ trees have been observed over a number of asexually propagated generations, and have been found to remain true to type.

‘Howell TC11’ was selected for its attractive, red-fleshed later-maturing fruit. It is distinguished from its parents by the characteristics set forth in Table 1.
