Hello! Unfortunately there's not much you can do about the frost or freeze afterwards... That said, depending on how cold it got, you might still get some fruit this year... It's really all about how cold it got, and for how long. Anything above 28, even with frost, you should be ok. Between 25-28 you should still get some fruit, assuming you had a lot of blooms. Colder than 25, and it's likely that all or most of the fruitlets were killed by the freeze. Even then, the tree itself will still grow all season, develop a bunch of new fruit buds for next spring, and give you even more next year! The late freezes are the hardest part of growing fruit trees, and it seems like every year we lose a bunch of potential fruit on at least one tree. For us it's the Asian pear... every other spring it flowers early and gets hit by a freeze.
Honestly we just let our apple trees fend for themselves and it usually works out well... I've heard others try that but results are mixed. With apples, even 10% of your flowers surviving will provide a full crop because you won't need to thin them then.
