Most apple juices seem to start around 1.050 with no sugar added and even if it goes bone dry it will only be around 7% ABV. When you add additional fermentables to boost ABV wouldn't you start to introduce additional flavors other than apple? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I will post as i try the ones mentioned,i'm going to do 1 gallon batches first to get a taste. If they end up to much like a white wine i will be back sweetening them since i don't really care for wine much. Either way i will post my findings,i'm going to start a few of them next week after the xmas rush is over and i get my current batch switched over to secondary.
