Prune when the tree is dormant. Right before buds start to develop. You will need a pair of pruners, loppers, and maybe a saw. Cut any twigs, or branches that cross into each other. You want to try and cut any growing far downward to maintain an upright shape. All cuts you make should be cut at an angle. Or you can hire someone to do it for you. Answer
DO NOT PRUNE WHEN DORMaNT!
it is a common misconception made mostly 'cos farmers cut trees in winter but they do that not because its the best time for it but because they don't have enough time to prune in summer. best times to prune would be early spring and after you picked the fruit. early spring pruning is mostly for tree shape design like the style described by the former answer while after picking pruning is meant to remove suckers and open the tree for sunlight which will improve the differentiation to fruit next year.
pruning while dormant hurts the tree more, causes slow healing, increases susceptibility to disease and can increase the chances of mortality by up to 30%

∙ 9y agoDepending on the size of the tree and the limbs, it may be advisable to first remove the largest limbs first. After this, cut a wedge in the trunk around three feet from the ground. The wedge should be no less than 1/3 of the way through the tree and be facing the direction that you want the tree to fall. After the wedge has been removed, cut through the remainder of the tree from the center of the wedge taking care to be clear of the potential impact zone.
