Hi David,
It looks like a few different things are happening here. It looks like you may have had some different insect damage and perhaps frost damage when the apples were smaller that has become more apparent now. I included a guide on Apple IPM for beginners that includes information on key pests and a potential schedule for early season insect management.
Best wishes,
