The weather has not suited apples very well and crops are generally poor, but cropping can be cyclical too as the trees often exhibit biennial-bearing, that is, a good crop exhausts the tree and is followed by a poor crop when the tree builds up again, and so on.
Thin the fruit in an on-year to reduce this, and feed the trees in spring with fruit fertilizer.
