I have an apple (Joy) that blooms prior to mid January and it has yielded apples in the past. I am most likely a little colder than you if you actually do live in pensacola, FL since pace is a little further north and inland. Now there may be some cultivars that are more sensitive than others relative to cold. Killing frosts after February are rare where we live. Killing frosts are usually lower than 30 F. Go ahead and plant what you want. I strongly recommend the just fruits and exotics Joy apple.
