You Need a Juicer

With my juicer, I have fresh apple juice in minutes — and honestly, juicing has completely changed my life. The ingredient list for this recipe? Just one: apples. No added sugar, no honey, no water, no spices. Just pure, crisp apples.

If you don’t have a juicer yet, seriously — pause everything and grab one. It’s one of the best kitchen investments you’ll ever make. This is the juicer I use and love — it’s a powerhouse for apples, oranges, leafy greens, you name it. Fresh juice tastes wildly better than anything you’ll find in a bottle. And once you start making your own, you won’t be able to stop. (Apple and spinach juice? Total game changer — I’m obsessed.)

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.

Best Apples to Juice

When it comes to making the best homemade apple juice, I love using Red Delicious, Gala, and Fuji apples. These varieties are naturally sweet, juicy, and packed with flavor, which means you don’t need to add any extra sugar — the apples do all the work! Red Delicious brings a mild, classic apple taste, Gala adds a floral sweetness, and Fuji is extra crisp and honey-sweet.

How to Make Apple Juice

Gather your apples and wash them.

Depending on the size of your juicer you might have to cut your apples in half.  

You don’t have to remove apple seeds before juicing — but I recommend it if you can, especially for larger batches. Apple seeds contain a small amount of amygdalin, which can release cyanide when crushed. In tiny amounts (like from a few apples), it’s usually not dangerous, but if you’re juicing a lot of apples, it’s a good idea to core them first just to be safe and avoid any bitterness they might add.

A few apples go in and the cup stars to fill up.  You’ll see foam on top of the juice. Foam comes out of a juicer because the high-speed spinning introduces air into the juice, creating bubbles as it extracts liquid from the fruit.

A few minutes later, a entire pitcher of apple juice was made!  Grab a glass and enjoy! It’s seriously that easy

How to Freeze Apple Juice

Yes, you can absolutely freeze apple juice — and it’s a great way to enjoy fresh apple flavor long after apple season ends! If you go apple picking and find yourself with pounds of extra apples, this easy recipe is perfect for using them up.

To freeze, simply pour the juice into freezer-safe containers or freezer bags, leaving a little space for expansion. When you’re ready to enjoy it, thaw the juice in the refrigerator, give it a good stir (since it might look a little cloudier after freezing), and sip away. The flavor stays wonderfully fresh and delicious!
