Gala apples "cracking" around the stem

I just harvested a bunch of Gala's and a handful of them have some "cracking" around the stem. It's not really cracking like tomatoes do after a big rain, it's more of an abscess. I'm not sure that's right word either, so here's photo.

What's going on here?
What causes this?
Is there any way to keep it from happening?

Thanks,
Bart
