Apple Juice Recipe
I thought about doing this post and thought it might be too simple, but simple recipes are always the best right? So I decided to do it, so here I am. Hello.
I love fresh apple juice bought from the farmers market stands. Last year I got my hands on a juicer (thanks Dad!) and ever since then I’ve been livin la vida juicing! When we went apple picking last year I spent hours making cider over the stove, simmering it and adding spices, and yes it was delicious – but it was a long process.
Is apple juice good for you?
Apple juice is very good for you! Apples are linked to lowering the risk of diabetes, weight loss, health benefits to you heart and some substances in apples may help prevent cancer. A apple a day really does keep the doctor away!
Apple juice is packed with vitamins, calcium, potassium and fiber. It’s the perfect healthy rink!
How to Juice
With my juicer I have fresh apple juice within minutes. So I’m going to show you how to make apple juice! Juicing, it’s changed my life.
Also I’d like to mention that when I made apple cider last year Matthew was “so so” about it, but this year when I’m making it au naturel he can’t get enough. He’s buying me apples left and right, throwing them at me, leaving them under my pillow. I get the hint! 1 ingredient apple juice is great!
Healthy Apple Juice Recipe
So the ingredients in this recipe is: Apples. That’s it. No sugars. No honey. No water. No spices. Just good ol apples. And a smile. Every recipe should have a smile.
So about the juicer, if you don’t have one, I recommend you stop what you’re doing then rush to Amazon and buy one. This is the one I have and it’s fantastic for apples, oranges, greens, everything. You know what else rules? Apple and spinach juice. I love that stuff.
This powerful juicer makes juice in seconds! It’s easy to clean and it even comes with a good little scrub brush. It comes with a anti foam cup so you can pour the juice out and not get the foam if you aren’t into that. Anyways, you should get a juicer. If I was Oprah I would yell at you all “YOU’RE GETTING A JUICER! YOU’RE GETTING A JUICER! YOU’RE GETTING A JUICER!” but I’m not Oprah, so I’m sorry.
How to Make Apple Juice
Gather your apples. You can make apple juice from any type of apple but the juicer varieties are the best to get the most juice from. Red Delicious, Gala and Fuji are my favorite apples to use.
Depending on the size of your juicer you might have to cut your apples in half.
Some people like to remove the seeds from the apples before putting in the juicer. This is totally optional and up to you. Apple seeds do contain a small amount of a cyanide compound, but the body can handle this in small amounts without worry. Again, totally up to you. If I’m feeling lazy and want a quick juice I’m probably just going to throw the apples in whole.
A few apples go in and the cup stars to fill up. This is the anti foam cup I was telling you about. When you pour it out into a pitcher or glass, only the juice comes out, the foam is left in this cup.
A few minutes later, a entire pitcher of apple juice was made! Grab a glass and enjoy!
Can you freeze apple juice?
Yes, you can easily freeze apple juice! If you go apple picking, you might be left with many pounds of apples! Don’t worry – turn them into apple juice! Freeze juice in freezer safe containers or freezer bags. After thawing out, pour in a cup, and stir as needed. The juice might be a little bit cloudier than usual, but it still tastes delicious!

Would you believe that I’ve never had homemade apple juice?? I have to try it as soon as possible, because your version looks amazing! What a lovely color! And your juice maker is gorgeous, I need to get my hands on one asap! x
Thanks Consuelo! I hope you give it a try, the freshness can’t be beat.
A great & tasty idea to make your own apple juice! I am going to do that too, Pamela! 🙂
I think, I would add a bit of cinnamon to my apple juice ! 🙂 Yum!
Cinnamon added in sounds great Sophie! Especially if it’s heated.. yum!
Given that fresh apple juice is pretty much all I’m going to be able to think about after seeing this…the purchasing of a juicer is in order!
Enjoy Joanne! And enjoy your juicing experience! 🙂
I bought a cheaper juice a month or so ago and then was gifted one that cost (no joke) 10x more literally the next day. Since then, we’ve been juicing fanatics — but we haven’t gone for the most simple and delicious juice of all! Thanks for the reminder to make apple juice 🙂
When we first got our juicer I tried so many recipes, including ones that came out horribly (even the smell!), but I found that simple works best here!
Love this apple juice! way healthier than what we buy in the stores and tastier I am sure.
Thanks Madison! This is definitely my favorite way to enjoy apple juice!
Hello back! I’ve am not a huge fan of apple juice, but always have like homemade drinks better than storebought and am itching to try this. I honestly didn’t know you could juice apples, (duh) but it looks so fresh, a little frothy, and a lot of yummy!
Thanks Mary Frances! What’s your favorite homemade drink?
Mmmmmm apple juices are so good and a great base sweetener for most juices & smoothies. Gorgeous photo of that cut apples!
Thank you!
Oo I’m jealous! I really want a juicer. Fresh apple juice sounds amazing!
It’s super fresh Kristina! I have a glass here if you need it! 🙂
Hey Pamela. What’s the apples-in-to-juice-out ratio? Like 5 apples = 8 oz of juice? Or 100 g of apples = 300 mL of juice, if we want to talk mass and metric?
Hi Mike, unfortunately I don’t know exact stats as it depends on the type of apples and your juicer, but it took me all the apples in the picture to make 64 oz of juice. I usually find that 2-3 apples makes for a good single serving glass. 1 large bag of store bought apples should give you about 1 liter. It takes a good bit of apples to make fresh juice, but definitely worth it. Hope this helps some!
I appreciate it! I know homemade always beats store-bought, but I was hoping to determine if it was at all economical to juice the apples myself versus buying pre-juiced apple cider.
Wish I would have had this a few days ago! A recipe I was making called for apple juice and I had to buy some… when I had tons of apples. Totally going to check out yours on amazon!
I love making it for recipes Laura, it’s so fresh!
It’s definitely great to have on hand for juices needed!
Looks so tasty. You’ve made me thirsty. One of these days I definitely need to get myself a juicer. I can’t believe I still don’t have one!
Hope you get one Melanie! It’s great to juice with!
I think “easy” recipes tend to get overlooked so I’m glad you shared. 🙂 Yummy!
Thanks Tina, glad you liked it!
I’ve been wanting to invest in a juicer for quite some time. This is giving my the perfect excuse to finally do it…apple juice is my comfort drink. When Zack and I first started dating and we went out and drank to where we’d have hangovers, he knew to always get me apple juice the next morning! I love it. I want this now!
That’s super sweet Jaclyn! Juice away!
I used to make fresh apple juice and actually loved it. It’s been a while , I have to go grab some to make some goodness.
Enjoy juicing Ash!
I’m so glad you went ahead and posted this recipe, Pamela. Simple recipes are the best and it provides a platform to help others with some great tips. I need to get a juicer! Thanks for sharing, girl!
Thanks Stacy! Hope it helps someone, thanks for stopping by!
This looks so mouthwatering !
Thanks!
Oh Oprah, if I only had a juicer… I love the idea of adding spinach!
Love spinach in juice, such a great way to add some healthy greens!
Great pics! Fresh apple juice always is the best.
Thanks Natalie!
I am gonna have to try this as soon as I get my hands on a juicer.
Enjoy Nicole!
Simple recipes are the best – this juice looks delicious! I used to drink apple juice all the time until that huge thing came out about the arsenic in apple juice. I suppose if you remove the seeds, you don’t get that in your juice.
Fresh juice looks so much better, too! It looks more like natural apple cider than the juice I used to buy in the store. I love it!
Pinning this! 🙂
Enjoy Abbie!
I have a juicer but I don’t do this enough. Best recipe I’ve seen all day 🙂
Thanks Todd! 🙂
I loved your Oprah comments – YOU get a juicer! And YOU get a juicer! I’ve never made my own cider (or juice) yet, but hopefully I will soon. This looks and sounds so awesome, especially since there are no ingredients other than apples!
Thanks Eva! 🙂 I love how easy it is to make, apples one minute, juice the next!
Seeing posts like this totally make me want to get a juicer girl. There is nothing better than the smell of fresh apples. Eli would go crazy bonkers if I squeezed him up some apple juice. Hmmmm… maybe I can ask Santa for one for Christmas. xoxo, Jackie
I bet Santa would think a juicer was a great idea! 😉 Enjoy Jackie!
We were totally on the same wavelength this week eh! Juice, juice, juice! It’s just the best. Especially apple…mmmm!
Your Oprah comment cracked me up- if only we could really do stuff like that!!
~Juice vibes~. Have a great weekend Koko. 🙂
So refreshing!!
Thank Julie!
I bet this tastes sublime! Fresh apple juice? I can only dream of! I’m so jealous. I have to get a juicer soon. And simple is always good, in my opinion! 🙂
Freshest of the fresh, can’t get enough of this juice!
Simple recipes are definitely the best! There is nothing better than fresh juice- so delicious and refreshing!
I totally agree Meghan!

Yum! I have never had homemade apple juice. Sadly, I don’t have a juicer at the moment, but I’m sure one day I’ll save up for it!
Thanks for stopping by Amy! I think it’s worth it, lots of juice ideas!
Simple recipes are indeed the best ones. This juice looks delicious!

Simple recipes are indeed sometimes the best!
I have been intrigued by juicing – and your post makes me wanna run out or log on and BUY A JUICER!!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend
Enjoy Shashi! I definitely love having a juicer for fresh drinks all the time!
I can’t think of anything better than this idea. I was just checking out our honey crisp tree earlier today and the boys and I will be picking apples, lots of them, tomorrow. Maybe some fresh juice in in order for the weekend as well! Thanks for this great idea!
Enjoy Dan! Sure wish I lived closer to that honey crisp tree!
And it is so good when it’s warmed up just right.
I want a hot toddy, like now!
I love it heated up, yum!
I need a juicer!! That is all I can say about this.
Thanks Zainab! Enjoy!
Aw man I wish I had a juicer now! I’m not a huge juice person but Nate drinks it daily. If only I had room for more appliances in my kitchen…maybe when we move 🙂
I know how you feel about storage Amy!
My juicer broke a few weeks ago and all these lovely pictures and talk about juice makes me want to cry about it all over again.. I really need a new one! Especially since we’ve got sososo many apples in our garden that should really all be turned into juice! Thank you for the reminder! (really, honestly, not sarcastic!)
Thanks for stopping by! I’m jealous by apples in your garden! Enjoy!
I can only imagine how wonderful this fresh apple juice tastes 🙂 Love simple recipes – they are the best! I would give anything for a glass of this refreshing juice right now 🙂 Hope you have a great weekend Pamela!:)
Hoping you have a great one yourself Kelly!
This makes me want a juicer even more!
It’s great to be able to make fresh juice!
Give me sommmmeeeeee! Ah man, freshly mulled apple cider is one of my favourite things about fall. Juicers are awesome, I need to get my hands on one when I’m finally settled in one place for more than half a year.
Enjoy Irina! I love some fresh juice!
Unfortunately, we are deprived of apple picking opportunities in Florida. I’ll enjoy it through your photos! Need to get some apple juice fixing soon 🙂
Hopefully I will have a full apple picking post soon Kiran! I love it! Have a great Sunday!
Sometimes the easiest recipes are the best. It’s always great to share those!
Thanks Beth, I totally agree!
I agree that the simplest things in life are often the best. This apple juice sounds so fresh and delicious, and what better time to make it then in the fall when apples are at their best? I haven’t juiced in ages…I need to get on it!
Enjoy Marcie! Fall and juice goes together so well!
Fresh apple juice is the best! My boyfriend and I recently received a Breville as a housewarming gift. We’ve been juicing almost everyday since!
Super glad to hear that Ada, enjoy all your yummy juices!
Simple recipes are definitely the best! Especially when juice is involved 😉
Thanks for stopping by Ashley!
i am so happy you shared this simple recipe…what a great reminder to make homemade apple juice…gosh i totally forgot how wonderful apple juice is. i love your pitcher!
I totally don’t think this was too simple of a recipe, because as soon as I saw it I was like “Ohhh, right. You can probably make apple juice at home!” Haha! It had never occurred to me that you could do that. Duh!!
Hahaha, enjoy Karly! It’s worth it! Going to get another cup now.. 😉
Tip: If you want to preserve that lovely initial green colour of the juice, and make it last longer, add a quarter teaspoon of ascorbic acid powder (vitamin C) and a squeeze of lemon juice immediately to the juice of 9 apples. Best to add it to the receiving container beforehand.

I really enjoyed your article. I tried your recipe this morning and I really enjoyed it. Thanks for the post.
Thank you, so happy you liked it!
[…] 29. Fresh Apple Juice […]
[…] is coming in. Apple picking is thought of as a weekend exercise (hello apple waffles!). Apple Juice is a appropriate drink any time of the day. You can put skeletons in your front yard. […]
Could I use a blender instead of a juicer since I have that already, and set it on liquify? Also, is it best to peel the apples?
hey Dorothy, you can use a blender to make this apple juice. You don’t need to peel the apples if you have a strong blender. Enjoy the juice!
[…] for you to take my hand and enter into Fall’s journey. It’s full of beautiful leaves, apple cider, chilly nights, comfortable socks, ghosts and goblins, the color […]
[…] guys loved my 1 ingredient apple juice (hint: only apples!) so I thought I’d share a new juice […]
[…] We have all heard ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’, so why not make it happen. Never did I once believe that I could achieve such a basic recipe with Apples! Once you have tried this Apple Crisps Recipe, also try my 1 ingredient apple juice recipe! […]
Hi!
This is pretty old article 😛 But I hope you can help me 🙂 What do you recommend for juicing juice containing a lot of important vitamins and minerals? Fast or slow juicer?
Thanks Pamela!
They say that, if consumed immediately, there’s hardly no difference at all, but when you plan to make several to store it for later use, then that’s the time where the problem starts, the juice is oxidised. Oxidation kills the nutrients. That’s why shelf life of Slow Juicers are longer than the Centrifugal Juicers.
I’m really glad to have stumbled upon your website. I love jucing and you have given me the info I needed. I will continue to explore your website for more info.
I’m glad this helped you – thanks for commenting!
Thank you,
I was wondering about freezing apple juice or if I should make ????
Now I know. Apple Juice and freeze it.
I have 8 apple trees where I live now. I have been wondering what to do with them all.
Because of the dry summer many are on the ground. Sad.
Hey Cathy, enjoy those apple trees and make lots of apple juice! Make some apple bread too. I’ll send you my address. (just kiding). 😉
