Both Raccoons and squirrels have done it to me. Hard to say which is more destructive - probably raccoons! This why I am going to put 2 ft of smooth venting pipe around my trees.
 
Squirrels may jump a bit but they do need a bit of intelligence to navigate to the target. 
 
I also find the plastic bags a slight deterrent for the squirrels.

  I returned to find the bags on the ground with large holes ripped in
  them - obviously something chewed through the bags to get at the
  apples. 
  1)  Any idea who's the most likely suspect?
  2)  Any idea how to discourage her in the future?
