We can’t wait to share how to make apple cider with this easy recipe, which was created by our Goodnature chef and juicing consultant, Ari. Unlike most apple cider recipes, you don’t need a crock pot, slow cooker, or strainer – just your juicer.

Why Juice Apples?

Customize Your Apple Cider

The types of apples that you use for the recipe are up to you – we recommend experimenting with granny smith apples, honeycrisp, pink lady, or other varieties. As always, we encourage you to experiment and make your own unique custom flavor – we recommend trying blueberry, cranberry, or reference The Juicing Companion for more flavor pairing ideas.

Depending on the severity of your sweet tooth, you may also want to try adding your favorite sweetener. Brown sugar goes amazingly well with apple and cinnamon (think apple pie), but honey and maple syrup are great options too.

Does anyone have this recipe with more typical measurements, ie teaspoon/tablespoon instead of .52 ounces?

In the background of the finished product you can taste that ever so satisfying apple cider character aspiring to break through; however, the clove @ 0.6g all but dominated this recipe. My recommendation: start with the tiniest pinch of clove during the building of this recipe, leaving room to add more at the finish.

The ginger and lemon ads an amazing tasty zing to the cider. I want to make this for company because it is so good. Could I make this ahead of time and keep it refrigerated or must I make right before consumption?

Hi Martin, Glad you like the recipe! The short answer is yes! If you are using a Goodnature juicer, this juice will last about 5 days in the refrigerator. There are a lot of factors that will determine how long a juice will last, like the type of juicer used, how fresh your produce is, etc. You can read more about that here: https://www.goodnature.com/blog/understanding-shelf-life-of-cold-pressed-juice/

Is that really .5 oz of cinnamon. That seems a ton

Hi Maurice, Yes, it is correct if you add the spices directly to the press bag, grinding produce on top and then pressing. If you want to mix the spices directly into the juice, you could use 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 of each nutmeg and clove. 😄
