빨간 => Adjective.

            So, placing '빨간' before noun '사과' is very natural. 

 

빨간+색 => Noun.

                So, 빨간색 사과 is noun + noun. '빨간색 사과' is also natural

 

빨간색 사과 totally makes sense in Korean. But it somehow gives a feeling that you're emphasizing on the color '빨간색'. On the contraray, 빨간 사과 seems balanced between '빨간' and '사과'


In conclusion, You can use both words, which has no problem!
