How to Make Apple Juice at Home (Fresh & Natural)
If you’d like to enjoy the fresh taste of apple juice at home, it’s simple to make from scratch using whole apples. Here’s how to do it without additives or preservatives.
Ingredients
- 4–5 medium apples (Fuji, Gala, Honeycrisp, or Golden Delicious for sweetness)
- 1–2 cups water (optional, for adjusting thickness)
- 1–2 tsp lemon juice (to preserve freshness and add brightness)
- Optional: a small pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth
Instructions
- Wash and Core the Apples
Rinse the apples thoroughly. Remove the cores and seeds, but you can leave the skin on if you’re using a juicer or plan to strain the juice. - Method 1: Use a Juicer
- Feed apple slices into a juicer and collect the juice in a container.
- Stir in lemon juice and refrigerate. Serve cold.
- Method 2: Use a Blender
- Cut apples into chunks and blend until smooth with 1–2 cups water.
- Strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove pulp.
- Stir in lemon juice and chill before serving.
- Adjust to Taste
If too sweet, add a splash of water or lemon juice. If not sweet enough, consider blending with sweeter apple varieties. - Storage
Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Shake well before serving, as fresh juice may separate naturally.
Tips for Homemade Apple Juice
- Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for more complex flavor
- Add cinnamon for a warm, spiced version during cooler months
- Use organic apples if you plan to leave the skins on
- Freeze in ice cube trays for chilled drinks or smoothie bases
