Thanks I'll give it a look over, hopefully it will help because it would be a shame to let all those apples go to waste.

Here's an idea,

Once you grind them in the garbage disposal setup you could fashion a simple juice press with 3 homer type plastic buckets nested within each other. Drill some tiny holes in the bottom of one, stick that one inside another, then dump the pulped apples in it, and place the third bucket inside of that one, then keep adding weight or even maybe just human pressure on the top bucket to compress it and have it collect in the bottom one.....

That actually sounds like a pretty good idea. The video for the garbage disposal was taken down but do you think it would be possible to just take a plank of wood and mash them in the bucket?

I tried the buckets out it didn't really work to well, the apple mulch just clogged the wholes I drilled and the liquid could not make its way in to the final bucket.

I might try to drill some bigger wholes and fit the second bucket with a cheese cloth and try again.
