Apples infested with apple maggots are generally not suitable for eating. As the larvae tunnel through the fruit, they break down the flesh, leaving brown trails and causing it to become soft, discolored, and prone to rot and mold. Heavily infested apples may instead be discarded or used for animal feed.
