I have never seen apple and spice looking so nice

Hello,

I came across this phrase while I was watching Shameless US S01E12.
I have never seen apple and spice looking so nice.
I'd like to know what's the meaning of it.

Thanks.

Hi, I don't know what it means. It sounds like London Cockney rhyming slang, but it's a US program. What was the context?

Hi,

Here is the scenario:
Two brothers (one is gay, the other one is a red head) are visiting their grandmother in prison (she doesn't know she's their grandmother), she asks them who the **** are they, so they tell her they're her grandsons. Then she says: 'Oh would you look at you two? I have never seen apple and spice looking so nice!'.

Thanks!

A fruit and a ginger.

Fruit is a deragotry name for a gay person, and a ginger is a someone with red hair. I suspect you might have guessed this, since you included the information that one has red hair.

This is in no way a common or standard idiom. It may help you understand the scene, but don't try to use it yourself, please!

Sorry, one of them is gay and a red head, the other one is 'normal'.
When she says it, she looks at the gay red head at first and when she says 'spice' she looks
at the other one 'till the end of the sentence.
Also, she doesn't know that the red head is gay, it's the first time she's met him.
(Perhaps it's something about a radar, but i doubt it).
