Equipment
- Blender or juicer
- Fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth (optional, for smoother juice)
- Knife and cutting board
- Bowl for soaking dates
- Measuring cup
Ingredients
- 6 Autumn Glory apples cored and chopped
- ½ lemon juiced
- 1 cup filtered water
- 4 dates pitted and soaked in hot water for 5 minutes
- Honey or sugar to taste (optional)
Instructions
Prep The Apples
- Give the Autumn Glory apples a good rinse. Core them and cut into smaller chunks. You can leave the skins on unless you want a smoother finish.
Soften The Dates
- Put the pitted dates in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let them sit for about 5 minutes so they soften up.
Blend Everything
- Add the chopped apples, drained dates, lemon juice, and some water into a blender. Blend on high until everything’s completely smooth.
Strain It (If You Want)
- If you prefer a clearer juice, pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a pitcher or bowl. Press down with a spoon to get all the juice out.
Sweeten To Taste
- Give it a taste. If you want it a bit sweeter, stir in some honey or sugar until it’s fully dissolved.
Serve It Up
- Pour into glasses and serve cold. You can chill it in the fridge or pour it over ice. Best enjoyed fresh.
