Same here. I do not know why. But it can go past 100 and they are fine.

My theory is that apple is still attached to the tree and can dissipate the
heat through the liquids that flow in the branches. I don't know much about
plant physiology, but something like this must be happening. I don't put
drain holes in my bags unless an individual one fills with rain water. If I
put a "picked" apple in a bag and left it for a day in the hot sun, I would
have apple sauce by evening. My bagged apples don't suffer any heat damage.
