Overgrown Apple Tree


Our new home has an very sad apple tree in the backyard. It has been poorly shaped and not trimmed. Hundreds of branches are growing straight up. It's lopsided and growing in one direction. The neighbor recently cut down the tree that was shading this one. I'd like to cut it back and reshape it, now that it will get adequate sunlight. How should I trim this tree? Cut some of the large limbs to balance it? Thin out the limbs growing straight up?
