I pasteurize them once they are bubbly enough to my liking, but will pasteurizing with pectin enzyme affect the cider at all?Pectic enzyme works better before there is alcohol present but add it anyway. It help clearing. Pectic enzymes won’t affect natural carbonation but natural carbonation and back sweetening don’t really go together. Makes bottles explode.
It shouldn’t matter if pectic enzymes are present. But pasteurization with pectin will likely not be good. Probably go cloudy.I pasteurize them once they are bubbly enough to my liking, but will pasteurizing with pectin enzyme affect the cider at all?

Hopefully it was clear before you bottled it. I’ve never had to help it clear.How would you suggest I clear it if I'm pasteurizing and backsweetening with more juice?
