Wash and Prepare the Apples
Start by thoroughly washing the fresh apples under running water to remove any dirt or pesticides. Remove any stems and cut the apples into quarters, leaving the skin on.

Cook the Apples
Place the quartered apples in a large pot. Add 1 cup of water to the pot, which will help in cooking the apples and extracting their juice.

Simmer the Mixture
Cover the pot and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are soft and mushy.

Strain the Juice
After the apples have cooked and softened, use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the apple mixture into a large bowl or pitcher. Press down gently on the solids to extract as much juice as possible.
