Apple Juice (no Free Refill) Recipe

Wash the Apples

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

Cut and Core the Apples

Cut each apple into quarters and remove the core. You can leave the skin on for added flavor and nutrients.

Prepare the Juicing Mixture

In a large pot, combine the apple quarters, water, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Simmer the Apples

Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the apples are soft and mushy.

Strain the Mixture

Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the mixture into a large bowl or pitcher to separate the juice from the pulp.

Sweeten the Juice

Add the lemon juice and sugar to the strained juice. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Serve the Juice

Pour the apple juice into glasses. Optional: Garnish with a slice of apple or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
