Default Rust on Apple trees

A couple of years ago, I planted myself a nice little orchard on the
back portion of my yard. Recently, I've noticed that the apple trees (4
vairieties) are having leaves dry up and drop, basically whole branches
of leaves. I mentioned this to my dad who has had orchards all my life
and he says it is caused by the cedar trees we have here in South
Central Kentucky. Has anyone else found this problem and some means of
taking care of it. I can't hardly cut down all the cedars within the
area and I've already tried a fungicide to no avail.
