Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Apples (any variety, preferably sweet)
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey or sugar (optional)
Instructions
Wash the apples thoroughly under running water to remove dirt or residue.
Core the apples and remove the seeds. No need to peel them unless desired.
Chop the apples into small chunks to make them easier to blend.
Add the apple chunks to a blender along with 1 cup of water and the lemon juice.
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture turns into a smooth puree.
Place a fine mesh strainer or a cheesecloth over a large bowl or pitcher.
Pour the blended apple mixture into the strainer or cheesecloth, allowing the juice to pass through. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press down and extract as much juice as possible.
Discard the leftover pulp or save it for another recipe, such as muffins or oatmeal.
Taste the juice and add honey or sugar, if desired, for extra sweetness.
Stir the juice well, chill it in the refrigerator if desired, and serve fresh for the best flavor.
