This is "fasciation", a type of mutation caused by all sorts of things: genetics, environment, fungi, viruses, etc.
It can also happen in other plants too, like strawberries and various flowers. It's actually quite well-known in pineapples though, there are lots of crazy pineapple pics.
OP this is a great find and you should post this on /r/Fruitation (mutated fruit subreddit).
