Branch cutting question

A large branch on my big old apple tree died, and looks like this:

Last year it dropped all leaves and fruit towards the end of summer, and
this year there is no growth on it at all.

Question: Should I remove the branch, and if I do, how close to the trunk of
the tree should I cut it?
