    4:00 That's a fungal disease called apple scab. It can be treated with industrial broad-spectrum fungicides but I don't think those are available to the home gardener. It's most likely the case that the Golden Delicious variety is particularly susceptible to scab, especially when you consider that it's a commercial variety and therefore probably bred with the expectation that it would be sprayed. I've grown a lot of different apple varieties over the years and unfortunately most of the best flavoured ones have pretty rubbish disease resistance, apples are plagued by so many fungal diseases such as scab, powdery mildew, fireblight, canker, and that's before you even talk about the aphids, deer and other animals that like to attack them.
