I live in a cold climate. And have had good luck with heirloom varieties---especially hard winter apple varieties. This is where companion planting really is important. Agreed, disease is a problem when planting in a small yard surrounded by incompatible trees such as cedar and walnut and almond... etc. Although Apples do love a lot of the hardwoods and at my folk's house in the cedar hedge are hard winter apples growing in the hedge very happily (the birds planted the apples). They are a hard yellow apple very delicious!
I really like the dwarf apple trees...
I wish you well!
