My apple tree has just started producing flowers.

Is this normal?

It is a young tree with a couple of apples on already.

It's common enough. My Bramley's does it every year.

My quince tree has done this for the past couple of years and is also quite a young tree, but this year it has set a bigger crop instead.

Same here.  Bramley here also does it a lot, and so does Pear Dr Jules Guyot.  When these late flowers set, they grow into green pears with red stripes (rather than yellow) and they have no pips inside.  Very strange.

Spudbash, did your late quince flowers develop fruit?

Not as far as I can recall... I'm quite happy to have a larger crop, instead, pretty as the flowers are.  ;D

Just wondering in case you had, whether the quinces were without pips as well.
