I would cut the apple open through those black dots through the center. If a little tunnel goes to the center with maybe a grub and a bunch of gross stuff in the middle then it is Codling moth. You would need to use pheremone traps earlier in the spring and when you trap the moth spray your tree with pyrethrin or spinosad. If the black dots just have a little bit of brown/black flesh very close to the surface with nothing else noticable the it is likely Bitter Pit, which is a symptom of calcium deficiency in your apple. Apply lime (raises pH and adds calcium) or gypsum (doesn't change pH and adds calcium) to your soil yearly if possible. This won't effect your apples this year, but will ensure you have better apples in the future and is the cheaper way of fixing this problem. You can also spray a liquid calcium supplement directly on the leaves of the tree and will help your apples almost immediately. I strongly disbelieve that this is anthracnose.
