Karen,
Are you removing your fallen leaves from
the area where your trees are? Scab overwinters on the dead leaves and if
you remove them or at least mulch them up really good, you will eliminate any
overwintering scab and half the battle is won. A short article
entitled "Organic disease control for apples. David
Rosenberger, Cornell Univ. 2007." can be found
at http://www.nysaes.cornell.edu/ent/scaffolds/2007/070319.html#disease. He covers the use of LLS (liquid lime sulfur) after a
rainfall that might be of help to your situation. Hope this
helps!
