APPLE JUICE:

   Apple juice is made by first macerating the apple (softening the apple with a liquid and absorbing the flavour from the fruit). Maceration helps the fruit to release its juices and make them easier to digest. Its quite expensive to produce apple juice in large quantities so its mostly produced commercially.
