What You Will Need
WebMD provides some tips for making apple juice without a juicer. You will need a blender, a strainer, cheesecloth, and either a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl.
To make apple juice without a juicer, start by cutting the apples into small pieces and removing the seeds. Then, place the apple pieces into a blender and blend until they’re smooth.
Next, line a strainer with cheesecloth and pour the apple puree into the strainer. Allow the apple juice to drip into a saucepan or bowl beneath the strainer.
Finally, heat the apple juice over low heat on the stovetop or in the microwave until it’s hot but not boiling. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
The Process
Making apple juice without a juicer is actually quite simple and only requires a few tools that you probably already have in your kitchen. All you need is a pot, a strainer, some cheesecloth (or a clean dish towel), and of course, apples!
The first step is to wash your apples. You can do this by hand or in your dishwasher, whichever you prefer. Once they are clean, cut them into small pieces, removing the seeds and stems as you go. There is no need to peel the apples; in fact, leaving the skin on will add extra nutrients and flavor to your final product.
Place the apple pieces into your pot and add water just enough to cover them. Put the pot on the stove over medium heat and bring it to a boil. Allow the apples to cook in the boiling water for about 15 minutes, or until they are soft enough to mash with a spoon.
Once the apples are cooked, remove the pot from the heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Carefully pour the contents of the pot through your strainer into another pot or bowl. Thestrained liquid is your apple juice! If you want a clearer juice, you can strain it again through some cheesecloth or a clean dish towel.
At this point, you can choose to add sweetener if you like; honey is a good natural option. You can also add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg if you desire. If you prefer a tart apple juice, leave it as is. Once you have added any desired extras, give your juice a good stir and enjoy!
