What is causing brown patches on my apples?

Our Advice:

This sounds like scab, which prefers damp conditions. Spray with either Systhane Fungus Fighter from Bayer or Bordeaux Mixture from Vitax. Remove infected fruit, spray the soil around the base of the tree and rake up all fallen leaves and fruit.
