How to Make Apple Juice with a Juicer! Easy step by step instructions on how to make homemade healthy juice with 1 ingredient. Save this recipe for when you go apple picking – it’s so good for you! Also includes how to freeze juice!
Easy 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 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.
When I made flavored apple cider last year my family was “so so” about it, but this year my family can’t get enough of this juice recipe. Matthew is buying me apples left and right, throwing them at me, leaving them under my pillow. I get the hint! Now to make this 1 ingredient apple juice recipe!
Benefits of Juicing
With my juicer I have fresh apple juice within minutes. Juicing, it’s changed my life. 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.
If you don’t have a juicer, 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!
How to Freeze Apple Juice
Yes, you can easily freeze apple juice! If you go apple picking, you might be left with many pounds of apples, this is a great recipe to use them in! 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!

jackie @ Marin mama cooks says
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
Pamela says
I bet Santa would think a juicer was a great idea! 😉 Enjoy Jackie!
Eva @ Eva Bakes says
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!
Pamela says
Thanks Eva! 🙂 I love how easy it is to make, apples one minute, juice the next!
Todd @ HonestlyYUM says
I have a juicer but I don’t do this enough. Best recipe I’ve seen all day 🙂
Pamela says
Thanks Todd! 🙂
Abbie @ Needs Salt says
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! 🙂
Pamela says
Enjoy Abbie!
Nicole @ Young, Broke and Hungry says
I am gonna have to try this as soon as I get my hands on a juicer.

Jaclyn says
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!
Pamela says
That’s super sweet Jaclyn! Juice away!
Tina @ Tina's Chic Corner says

Laura @ Lauras Baking Talent says
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!
Pamela says
I love making it for recipes Laura, it’s so fresh!
Pamela says
It’s definitely great to have on hand for juices needed!
Mike Hillman says
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?
Pamela says
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!
Mike Hillman says
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.
Kristina says
Oo I’m jealous! I really want a juicer. Fresh apple juice sounds amazing!
Pamela says
It’s super fresh Kristina! I have a glass here if you need it! 🙂

Mary Frances @ The Sweet {Tooth} Life says
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?
Madison says

Kelly @ hidden fruits and veggies says
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 🙂
Pamela says
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!
Joanne says
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!
Pamela says
Enjoy Joanne! And enjoy your juicing experience! 🙂
Sophie33 says
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!
Pamela says
Cinnamon added in sounds great Sophie! Especially if it’s heated.. yum!
Consuelo @ Honey & Figs says
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
Pamela says
Thanks Consuelo! I hope you give it a try, the freshness can’t be beat.
