Crab apple tree

I have a crab apple tree in the garden - last year it didn't do very well - leaves curled up, no apples whereas in previous years it had been fantastic. Thought it may have been down to a lack of light as there is another tree nearby. So we moved it and it looked like it had survived up until a week or so ago.
Blossom is coming but the leaves are going brown and falling.......is it on it's last legs? It has been watered (!)

Can I fix that?!
You say its been watered ,
But probably under stress due to the move.
Its just a guess .
Were the symptoms the same last year?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Yes, same symptoms. Annoying as in previous years there had always been a good crop of apples.
The die back of leaves made me think of honey fungus

but it could be something else all together.
If you live in Derbyshire, as I do.
Yikes, hope it's not ^^^
