Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Apples

    Wash and core the fresh apples. Cut them into quarters, leaving the skin on for added flavor.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the quartered apples, water, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon stick. Stir well to mix all the ingredients.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mixture

    Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the apples are soft and mushy.

  4. 4

    Mash the Apples

    Using a potato masher or fork, mash the apples in the pot to release their juices. Continue to cook for an additional 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Strain the Juice

    Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the mixture into a large bowl. Press down on the solids to extract as much juice as possible.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the juice to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a pitcher and refrigerate. Serve chilled, and enjoy your homemade apple juice!
