Apples all grow the same way. They are produced on small branches that grow from small exits in larger branches. Due to the climates in which Pippins and other green apples originated, they tend to be green. Dense areas with more rain than sunlight has bleached the surface of the small branches, confusing pigmentation in the fruit, selecting green because of the phosphorous contained in the plant.
Because of the skin on the outside and how it reflects light and color.
Green apples can be green when ripe for eating (Granny Smith's for example) or they can be the color of red apples that aren't mature yet. Most apple varieties are green when not ripe.

Green apples taste sour due to their higher concentration of malic acid compared to other varieties of apples. Malic acid is a natural compound found in many fruits and is responsible for the tartness or sourness in green apples.
