Golden Delicious apple skin black smudges

Lump

Hello. I am wondering what specific problem is causing black smudge marks on the skins of my Golden Delicious apples here in Ohio.

I am a VERY casual home gardener with an over-busy lifestyle. But I do love the apples from the 2 trees in my yard (1 Golden Delicious, and 1 Red Delicious). In the last 2 years I have neglected my pruning and spraying duties. But frankly, we typically get so many fruits from these trees, that we can keep just the small percentage of pretty apples for our own use, and feed the rest to deer and wildlife. But this year the pesky black smudge marks which we see each year have gotten much worse; nearly turning the apples black.
