Best Apples for Juicing

The best juicing apples are the juiciest ones, with enough sugar for sweetness and enough acid to keep the juice from tasting flat. As with cider, a two- or three-variety blend beats any single apple: pair a sweet base with a tart accent.

These varieties give high juice yield per bushel and store well, so you can press through fall and winter. Grow in full sun and plant compatible varieties for pollination.

– Sweet juice base: Fuji, Gala, Honeycrisp.

– Tart accent for balance: Granny Smith, Goldrush, Winesap.

– All-purpose blenders: McIntosh, Pink Lady.
