Sam,If so they sure go to a lot of exercize to get one bite.
It is possible that the pest that bites a hole in your apple is a climbing
cutworm. They usually bite on the 'top' (i.e. stem end) or the sides. Once
they've made a hole, the earwigs and sowbugs and lady bugs and wasps all
move in to eat the flesh.
The cutworms come out of the soil late at night, climb up the tree, bite the
hole and eat a bit, and go down into the soil during the daytime. That's
why you never see them.
