100% Apple Juice
What it is
This is a beverage made entirely from apples. It is produced by pressing apples to extract their juice. The juice is then typically filtered to remove pulp and solids, resulting in a clear liquid. It is a common drink enjoyed by many people.
How people cook with it
Apple juice can be consumed on its own or used as a component in various culinary preparations.
- Drinking straight

- Baking ingredient
- Marinade base
People often drink apple juice chilled as a refreshing beverage. It can be served in a glass on its own. For more complex drinks, it serves as a base for punches, smoothies, or mixed beverages. In cooking, it can add sweetness and moisture to baked goods like cakes and muffins. It is also sometimes used in marinades for meats, contributing a subtle fruity flavor and tenderizing effect.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike apple cider, which is often unfiltered and may contain pulp, 100% apple juice is typically clear and smooth. It also differs from apple juice blends, which combine apple juice with other fruit juices, by containing only the essence of apples.
