Step 1: Select and inspect 8 to 10 firm apples, free from major bruises or rot, mixing sweet and tart varieties for balanced flavor.

Step 2: Wash the apples thoroughly under cool running water, scrubbing with a produce brush or clean cloth, then pat dry.

Step 3: Core and cut each apple into quarters, removing seeds but leaving the skin intact for color and nutrients.

Step 4: Assemble and prepare your juicer according to the manufacturer’s instructions, placing a pitcher or bowl underneath the spout.

Step 5: Feed apple pieces into the juicer slowly, using the plunger or light hand pressure to extract the juice.

Step 6: If using a centrifugal juicer and the pulp is too dry, add water a little at a time to help the machine process the apples efficiently.

Step 7: Strain the fresh juice through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean pitcher to remove any remaining pulp.

Step 8: Transfer the juice to glass bottles or mason jars and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
