What causes black dots on apple skins?

Black dots on Apple skins can be caused by several factors, including fungal infections, such as Apple scab or sooty blotch, which create dark spots on the skin. Physical damage or bruising from handling or storage can also lead to discoloration. Additionally, environmental stressors, like fluctuating temperatures or poor growing conditions, may contribute to the appearance of these black dots. While they may affect the fruit's appearance, they typically do not impact the Apple's edibility.
