Cook the apples: Add the apple chunks to a large pot and cover them with a small amount of water (just enough to cover the bottom of the pot). Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the apples are very soft.

Straining apple juice
Pasteurize (optional): If you want to store the juice for longer, you can pasteurize it. Heat the juice to 165°F (74°C) for 30 seconds, then transfer it to sterilized jars and seal tightly.
