Apple Juice
This simple technique delivers maximum nutrition with very little effort. For the best flavor, combine two or more apple varieties.
Ingredients
- 600 g (4 ) apples, cored, halved
- 60 ml (¼ cup) cold water
Directions
- Place apples and water into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
- Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 45 seconds, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades.
- Transfer purée to a bowl lined with cheesecloth or a filtration bag and twist until juice is extracted.
Notes
Fiber is removed when filtering through cheesecloth. To create a thinner juice with the fiber intact, blend with 3 cups of water. This will lessen the intensity of the apple flavor but increase the fiber intake. To utilize the full 64 ounce capacity triple this recipe.

Eye opener. Incredibly easy.
I used a nut milk bag to strain. Super easy clean up. I like making single variety juices for different tastes.
Can also not strain and serve as fresh raw applesauce.
The vitamix is the single most versatile and important kitchen tool I own. I own a blendtec and Ninja as well. the blendtec works but the blades are blunt/ not sharp and you don't get the same ultra smooth texture. The Ninja isn't remotely close.

Super Healthy
I have had a vitamix for over fifty years, my apple sauce is made from whole apples, quartered and filled to top ( with one Granny Smith for snap). Add cloudy apple juice to one third of the contents line and blend on smoothie. Use tamper, and process until chunky as wanted. I also add my homemade kefir for the juice and ferment it for soda pop applesauce which my grand children love!

Good as juice, better as cider, best with liqueur
I usually leave it unfiltered to make spiced cider. I will heat the cider in a pot on low heat with slices of oranges and ginger. Then i will add lightly toasted star anise, cloves, and cinnamon sticks. Once the cider if flavored with the spices, I will add dark rum, brandy, or bourbon. If you filter your juice, you can use the pulp for crepes, pancakes, waffles, or baked goods. Happy blending!

Awesome Juice
I used a strainer instead of cheese cloth. Got about 1 cup of apple juice. I let it sit over a bowl for about 10 minutes. Great tasting! Gonna try to make apple sauce with the pulp.

Easy and fast!
Much faster than running to the store for a small amount of juice! I used 3 large fuji apples and it yielded about one and a half cups of juice. Saved the pulp to use in pancakes and muffins.

Easy & delicious!
Just made it with my grandson in a couple minutes and it was delicious. Used a paper towel instead of cheesecloth and it worked great! Thanks for the easy recipe!

Good Apple Juice; straining is very inconvenient
I followed the directions, as prescribed in the book "Introduction to High-Performance Blending," which called for 160 mL of water, and not 60 mL as posted here online. Also, the expected yield according to the book is 475 mL (16.1 oz), while according to the instructions online it's 400 mL (13.5 oz) (which makes sense with less added water). I was able to get a yield of 557 mL (18.8 oz) after applying my best efforts, which was kind of remarkable. (I used a scale to weigh the output, so this number is accurate.)
This is not a bad recipe, and the apple juice was really good, but it is quite a bit of effort for relatively low output. If you plan to blend enough apple juice to accommodate an entire family, it will take you at least an hour to accomplish that. If you're not particularly patient, consider skipping this recipe.
