I have no idea on your zone stuff in the USA, but in the UK you should never prune a fruit tree during winter, or even early spring if more frost is likely.
The reason is silver leaf fungus, the spores are about in the cold times, any open wound (cut) is an easy entry point for the fungal infection.
It would be worth some web searching to see if silver leaf is in your area.
