apple pressing

Crushing fruit harvest

Apple pressing is the process of crushing apples to extract their juice, typically for making cider.

The term covers both the activity and the social event built around it—many orchards host pressing days where visitors bring apples and leave with fresh juice: We took the kids to an apple pressing last weekend.
