Is this apple tree healthy

Ideally it wouldn't have lost that many leaves yet, but it did make good extension growth this year - suggests it could have been happy to start with and then been stressed, which would be consistent with mole damage to the roots.

 

Moles aren't interested in the roots - they are carnivorous so are looking for worms. Damage to the roots is coincidental.

 

Did the leaves go any funny colours before they fell? There could also be some signs of scab, which can cause early leaf drop. If so, pick up the fallen leaves and reckon on spraying with a fungicide next year if you feel so inclined.
