Don't really have any.
At least there are no worms in our apples that I know of.
Worst problem is something bites a hole and sow bugs get in and start 
eating more.
We dry most of our apples and use a corer-peeler gadget.
There may be a spot in every 100th apple I have to cut out.
On the drops which we turn into apple sauce, we will have to cut out the 
brused spots.
What does a maggot look like?
