This is a case of skin browning as pointed out here.
It's because of some issue during storage that makes the skin brown and sunken. The damage is superficial and safe to consume.

Worms want to eat the apples, not be eaten by you. They would be way more likely to try to convince you to dispose of the apple gently outside in the shade in a space protected from birds so they can continue their wormy business unmolested.

I only found the German wiki page for it, because we recently had the same markings on our apples, it has something to do with improper storage:

The markings show because of improper storage. The apples are completely safe to eat in whole and there are no bad properties other than visual to be expected.

Worms. Coddling moths lay their eggs on apple blossoms and eat the apples from the inside out as the fruit grows. Put coddling moth traps in the trees in the spring when they flower. Makes a big difference.

This isn’t codling moth damage. Codling moth do not burrow under the surface of the fruit, they go directly for the core and the seeds. Also, there are no entry/exit points on any of the apples.

Aah, the apples returned.

After centuries of silence, they grew overnight, perfect, marked with glowing divine script. The omen.

Old texts whispered it: “When fruit bears the gods’ tongue, justice will come sweet and searing.”

High above, rifts opened. The sky trembled.

They are coming. And they bring the Apple Cakes of Cinnamon Justice.
