I did a similar thing, under similar conditions.  it took almost 4
days to get the fermentation going but then it did fine.  I even gave
it oxygen twice, like at 24 and 48 hours after pitching.  I used Red
Star Pasteur Champagne yeast.

A tart but tasty cider.  May not be very clear but that just an eye
thing.  I bottled mine and under carbonated it but it is still tasty
(it is only about 2 months old).

It will be a little young, it takes about a year for it to really
smooth out.  And then it is like champagne I'm told.

Search here for recent threads with "cider" in the subject, there has
been some good threads on that in the last two months.
