Time 4h

Yield Makes about 1 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 1

7 pounds apples, cored but unpeeled, washed and cut into 1 1/2-inch wedges

Steps:

  • Line a large colander with a triple layer of cheesecloth, leaving an overhang of a few inches. Place colander over a large pot.
  • Working in batches in a food processor (don't fill it more than halfway), grind apples to the consistency of thick applesauce, scraping down sides as needed.
  • Transfer applesauce to colander. Once all of applesauce has been added, use overhang of cheesecloth to enclose applesauce; twist to close. Weigh down with a heavy pot, such as a Dutch oven.
  • Refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to overnight. Discard solids.
  • Cider can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 week, or frozen in an airtight container up to 3 months.
