Prune this apple tree now or summer? (pic)

This is a continuation of another thread where I was asking if I should try to rejuvinate a bunch of old trees now or in the summer.

Below is a picture of an apple tree that I inherited. I did some very basic pruning last year at this time and now I ready to really open it up but I'm worried if I do it now, I'll encourage a lot of new growth that will produce the opposite effect of what I'm going for.

{{gwi:71065}}Should I prune it to a vase style or the scaffold style? And whatever I do should it be now or in the summer?

Thanks!

Bart
