Apple Juice

Apple juice is made by macerating and pressing apples. Macerating is the process of softening the apple in some sort of liquid – most often simply water. They are boiled to help break down the flesh of the apple, mashed, and then strained.

Apple juice goes well with many different dishes. Apple juice is a great non-alcoholic replacement for white wine in cooking due to its sweetness and light color. In recipes, apple juice can be used in place of white wine in a 1:1 ratio. It is important to note that when a recipe asks for a small amount of wine, apple juice works best as a substitute. If you don't, you might not get the flavor you were going for. Similar to other beverages, you may add some vinegar to apple juice to increase the recipe's acidity and flavor. Apple juice is a great ingredient to include in sauces that are used to marinate lighter dishes.
