This homemade apple juice recipe is an easy and healthier version of everyone's breakfast fav. 🍎
Is there seriously anything better in the morning than fresh juice? I feel like it reminds me of being a kid and it not only quenches your thirst, but it just feels and tastes good. Juices you buy in the grocery store, however, are usually loaded with sugars and not great for you. That’s why I want to show you an easy way to make juice at home with real, healthy ingredients.
❤️ Why You’ll Love This Apple Juice Recipe
- Healthy: This apple juice recipe is made with literally 3 ingredients, one of which is water. It’s good for you and tastes great
- Flavorful: This homemade apple juice doesn’t even compare to the stuff you buy at the grocery store. It’s so much better and tastes like real apples
🍲 Ingredients
Autumn Glory® Apples: Autumn Glory® apples are honestly so delicious. They are a unique variety that is sweet and crisp with hints of cinnamon and caramel. They make the perfect apple for homemade apple juice or other apple recipes like apple sauce.
Cinnamon: The only other ingredient in this apple juice recipe is cinnamon which not only pairs so well with apples but it contains powerful medicinal properties. It’s loaded with antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory properties, and is such an easy spice to add to so much – stews, juice, smoothies, baking, etc.
👩🍳 How to Make Apple Juice
- Add chopped apples to a high-speed blender with the dates, cinnamon, and water. Blend until fully combined.
- Pour the apple juice into a nut milk bag or muslin cloth and use your hands to squeeze it, getting out as much juice as you can into a bowl or jar.
- The juice will last up to 4 days in the fridge in an airtight jar or container.
🗒 Variations
There are so many things you can add to this juice to make different juices that are so tasty. Here are some fruits you can add to the blender and experiment with:
- Apples balance tart fruit like cherries or cranberries
- Berries can be a great addition too like strawberries
- Apple-orange juice can be the best of both worlds plus an added dose of vitamin C
🗒 Substitutions
- Apples: If you cannot find Autumn Glory® Apples you can use other apple varieties. Red Delicious, Fuji, Golden Delicious, or Gala apples all will be good choices for a sweeter apple juice
- Cinnamon: Cinnamon isn’t a necessity in this recipe and you can not include it at all if you prefer

👝 How to Store Leftovers
Leftover juice will last up to three days in the fridge in a sealed container or mason jar. Remember, the juice you buy at the grocery store lasts so long because of preservatives. This is the real deal so it won’t last as long!
🤔 Common Questions
Not at all! You can use a high speed blender to make fresh juice and use a cheese cloth or something similar to strain out the pulp.
You can prevent cut apples from going brown by squirting lemon juice on them. You can also freeze sliced apples to use in baking.
