See pic. I think this is just from proximity to a branch or leaf but would appreciate confirmation. The skin of the apple is not broken or soft.

It's not frost damage.

I've seen this type of damage caused by thrips when the fruit is pea size or smaller. Just one bite when the fruit is small develops into a big scar at harvest.

It does look like an old scar. The damage has grown like a butterfly tattoo while young growing into a buzzard later in life.
