Thank you for your question for Extension Master Gardeners. Now is the perfect time to prune your apple tree, but how you accomplish it depends on many factors including age, height and appearance of your tree. Not knowing which circumstance you have, I have included an Extension article which will help you out with different scenarios. There are videos on this page also:

You can also rent a tall saw or pruners to reach up high in your tree. Good luck!
