Adding nitrogen will waterlog your apples,

Interesting to note that Beddoe reports the same thing which I posted here

Hold the water, more sugar please

In his book Home Grown Nourishment, Beddoe presents an interesting idea. He says if the soil phosphates to nitrogen ratio is out of balance, then the brix will be unstable and easily affected by weather.

But often it is not just the amount of any one nutrient but its ratio with respect to other major nutrients that produces any given effect.
