Newbie apple grower

Hello everyone!
I'm new to the world of apple growing - I planted two new trees (unfeathered maidens) over the winter. Surprised to see they have flower buds on them - I wasn't really expecting that in the first year! Should I let them flower/fruit, or would it be best to remove the blossom this time?
I only have a small garden so they are both on very dwarfing rootstock. The varieties are McIntosh and Red Devil and I'm in East Central Scotland.
