Thank you for writing.  My visual guess is that this is Apple Scab although a larger visual inspection is needed.

There may be local in person help fromo Tree Care Advisors of the UMN which differ from the Master Gardeners.

However, this tree(s) should be seen by a professional arborist. This is outside the capability of a landowner.
