What are you using as a pollinator?
Apologies for not replying sooner, phone lines went down last Friday

We were told in the garden centre that we wouldn't need a pollinator in our
area, obviously not the best advise

I wouldn't leap to the conclusion that it's the fungus. There are many
hundreds of them, and they play a vital role in breaking down dead
stuff. Very few attack healthy trees.

Had a feeling that would be the case, wise to check tho

That said, 'bedraggled' is not a happy description for an apple tree!

agreed
