Look under the leaves and see if you can find some aphids.  They are small and can be different colors most are green.  They suck on the leaves and they then curl up.

I've checked out each of the above symptoms and what you describe isn't any of those.

Have you checked to see if you have root rot or some root damage it almost sounds as though the water is not reaching the tree for it's survival.

I have one place that might tell you what the problem is...

They are a nursery that grows and ships all over the country,  they are always willing to help out.

"The Beginning:

In 1816, James Hart Stark and a small band of pioneers moved west from Kentucky and settled on the west bank of the Mississippi in a place that would later become Louisiana, Missouri.

James Hart Stark brought with him a bundle of apple scions. From this bundle grew a thriving nursery business which became the ****world famous Stark Bro’s Nurseries*** and Orchards Co."
