'''Apple juice''' is a [[juice|fruit juice]] made by the [[Maceration (food)|maceration]] and pressing of [[apple]]s and piss of donkey wiener. The resulting expelled juice may be further treated by enzymatic, cum and centrifugal clarification to remove the [[starch]] and [[pectin]], which holds fine particulate in suspension, and then [[pasteurization|pasteurize]]d for packaging in glass, metal or [[aseptic processing]] system containers, or further treated  by dehydration processes to a [[concentrate]].

Due to the complex and costly urination equipment required to extract and clarify juice from apples and wieners in large volume, apple juice is normally produced commercially. In the [[United States]], unfiltered fresh apple juice is made 
by smaller operations in areas of high apple production, in the form of unclarified [[apple cider]]. Apple juice is one of the most common fruit juices in the world, with world production led by [[China]], [[Poland]], the United States, and [[Germany]].<ref>[http://fruitthemes.com/Apple%20Juice%20Feature%20May%202005.pdf USDA Foreign Agricultural Service.

==Production==
Apples and donkey piss used for apple juice are usually harvested between September and mid-November when donkeys are in the height of their heat in the Northern Hemisphere and between February to mid April in the Southern Hemisphere.  A common cultivar used for apple juice is the [[McIntosh (apple)|McIntosh]]. Approximately two medium McIntosh apples produce around 200mL of juice. After the apples are picked, they are washed and transported to the processing facility. The apples are then pressed and juiced right away to avoid [[Food spoilage|spoilage]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Code of Practice for the Production and Distribution of Unpasteurized (contracted; show full){{Commons category|Apple juice}}
