Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash the Apples

    Thoroughly wash the fresh apples under running water to remove any dirt or pesticides.

  2. 2

    Core and Chop the Apples

    Remove the cores from the apples and chop them into quarters. There is no need to peel them.

Juicing

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the chopped apples and 1 cup of water.

  2. 4

    Cook the Mixture

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, until the apples are soft.

  3. 5

    Mash the Apples

    Using a potato masher or wooden spoon, mash the apples to release their juice.

  4. 6

    Strain the Juice

    Place a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a large bowl. Pour the apple mixture into the strainer, allowing the juice to drain while separating the solids.

Sweetening (Optional)

  1. 7

    Add Sweetener

    If desired, stir in sugar or honey to the strained juice to achieve the desired sweetness. You may also add cinnamon for extra flavor.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve Chilled or Warm

    Pour the fresh apple juice into glasses and serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator before serving.
