Sad apple trees

I have inherited 2 sad looking apple trees at my new house. How can I cheer them up for next year?

They look a bit old and manky one is very leafy with bunches of green apples but not that many. The other is very 'branchy' with lots of russety red/green apples.

What the best way to find out what variety they are?

    You could start by removing any deadwood now and clearing grass etc away from the trunk. Pruning and feeding will have to wait for now.
