Why are the leaves on my apple trees going brown and crispy?

Our Advice:

This sounds like a fungus called 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.
