Small flies in apple core

My Malling Kent dwarf tree (35yrs plus) bears many pounds annually..This year EVERY apple was brown and burrowed inside and some had a tiny fly in the core. Could you pls advise me what it may be and how to cure it…I also have an Orange Pippin which was somewhat less affected. Many txs James Scott
