Iowa, apple tree 10-12 years old at least, yellow spots on leaves spongy bark at bottom?

we just bought our home 2 mo ago and this tree has spongy bark at the bottom on one side but there are no drainage issues that area is higher than the rest of the lawn, the leaves have yellow spots and the tree had apples on one side but as they got to be the size of a quarter or an apricot they fell off and it is now apple free any ideas? can I fix this ? I can takeit out and put a new one in but it is so well established(I should say the lilac bush also had spongy wood but it was the whole base and was rotting out and we removed it)

I suggest taking a leaf or some bark to the ISU Extension Office. They will tell you everything about the condition of your apple tree and the service is free.





You may even be able to get them to visit your apple tree to diagnose what's going on with it.
