Apple juice and apple cider are two liquids that require no adjustment to interchange in recipes. These apple beverages may have a slightly different flavor, but substitute them at the same volume. The main difference between the two liquids is that apple juice has the pulp filtered out to make it a clear liquid, while apple cider can have a pulpy consistency. Apple cider also has a tarter flavor than apple juice. You can adjust the flavor and consistency of apple juice to make it more similar to apple cider, but this is not a requirement.
Step 1
Read the recipe and determine the amount of apple cider needed.
Step 2
Substitute an equal amount of apple juice for the apple cider listed in the recipe by pouring it into a measuring cup or spoon.
Step 3
Add about 1 tsp. of lemon juice for each cup of apple juice to increase the tartness, if desired.
Step 4
Remove 1 tbsp. of apple juice from 1 measured cup. Mix 1 tbsp. of applesauce into the apple juice to increase the pulp and thickness, if desired.
Tips and Warnings
- Taste test the adjusted apple juice to make sure it has the flavor and consistency you expect. Adjusting apple juice may take some trial and error to get the product you expect.
