I’m no expert but It looks like powdery mildew to me. I’ve never seen an Apple tree with natural fuzz on it. There are sprays you can use but I don’t know what’s safe for food crops. It spreads in the wind though so I’d try to get a handle on it if I were you. Good luck!!

It could also be a calcium residue from your water
