Laxton's superb not fruiting

Question from Barry Larvin

Hi, I have a Laxton's Superb apple tree that we were given for my son's christening 3 years ago. It's yielded fruit every year but there is nothing this year. The tree hasn't been pruned or anything is there something that I should do to help it for next year?
