Don't have my book in front of me but I think it says something like "if the game horn is sounded, either official may recognize it with a whistle and stop any action, even to the extent of declaring that the ball did not become live".
Based on this, could the official recognize the horn, declare that the ball never became live, and award the AP to Blue? I'm guessing I'm missing something because this doesn't seem right, but curious to see what others would say.

No, you can't. The rule is clear that once the throw in is complete, the AP error cannot be corrected. We don't get do-overs. Too much time has passed in this case from the time the ball became live until the horn sounded.
