It looks like your apples have damage from plum curculio. The wounds and scars from this pest also make the apples susceptible to secondary infection of different rots which I am also seeing in your pictures. Plum curculio is a type of weevil and an important pest of apples. There is lots of information available online to learn more about this pest and management strategies. Here are links to some:
