Those are the new genetically-altered "protein-enhanced" apples.

Spontaneous generation.
Not really.
Eggs or dormant larva can get onto fruit before its picked. However, you will generally never find a worm in your apple, no matter how rotten it is, unless it is outside, on the ground.
The myth of a "worm in your apple" comes from when people would see an apple tree, pick an apple up off the ground, take a bite, and see that they weren't the first guy to get there if you know what i mean.

They don't automatically appear.
Flies land and lay eggs or the eggs were on the fruit when picked.
One reason to wash fruit before eating

Worms don't really automatically appreat in rotten fruit.
If you are talking about long pinkish worms, it probably crawled into it.
If you're talking about little white ones or maggots, those are the larval stage of flies and other insects that probably laid their eggs in it. As the egg developed, maggots appear.

lol they don't.. pick up a biology book if you have time. Spontaneaous generation is not possible. The closest it gets is chemical evolution... which is a way of combining amino acids in hopes of creating life... and that is not even possible. A fly probably got into the fruit and laid eggs... or some other bug.

they get in the fruit to eat the rotten fruit that is why they appear there

it is because worm came from flies. when a fly eat the rotten fruit. they will lay their eggs. and it will became worms,....
