2. There are a couple of insect pests of apple that cause fruit drop, or that tunnel into fruit: codling moth and plum curculio. In addition, apple maggot will tunnel through fruit and ruin it.
Here is our page on insect control in fruit. Follow links to the Virginia Tech Spray Schedule and read the descriptions of these pests to determine which aligns most closely with what you see in your apples: https://extension.umd.edu/hgic/topics/fruit-disease-and-insect-pest-control
