Ingredients
- 6 Gala Apples
Instructions
- If using apples with wax on them, wipe the apples down with white distilled vinegar and then rinse them clean.
- Chop the apples into cubes, discarding the core.
- Add the apple pieces into a blender with 1 cup of water. Turn the blender to high and blend the apples until they are smooth and completely blended (about 5 minutes).
- Place a cheesecloth over a strainer, then place the strainer over a large bowl. Pour the apple juice + pulp over the cheesecloth to catch the pulp.
- Allow any juices to naturally drip out, then gather the corners of the cheesecloth and squeeze until all excess liquid comes out.
- Scoop into glasses, serve and enjoy!
Notes
- You can peel the apples if you’d like, but you don’t have to.
- The longer you blend the apples, the smoother the mixture will become
- You can use gala apples, fuji, honeycrisp, red delicious etc. I like gala apples the best.
- For a more tart apple juice, use granny smith or pink lady apples.
- You can add various flavoring if desired. Good options are cinnamon, cardamom, other juices, or even alcohol.
