That should be fine, but it's important not to keep adding soil/mulch higher round the trunk. If in doubt, lay mulch on the surrounding soil, but leave a gap round the trunk.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

Ok a mulch might be better, when is it best to mulch an Apple tree? Spring? I wanted to add more soil as I can see a thick root close to the ground? Also it looks as if there’s a slight split in the back where it meets the ground.
You can mulch any time. Do it when ground is moist though, especially if you're in a very dry area. Roots shouldn't be exposed. If there's a split in the trunk, that could be a problem later on if it's deep enough to allow diseases in. Not my area of expertise though.

Okay thanks for the help I’m off to the garden centre later anyway so I will bombard them with questions 😂
