The traditional method would be something like this:

When the apples have fallen from the trees, collect them (including any bruised ones), and press them. Make sure you do not wash them first. There will be a naturally occuring yeast on the skin. Put into containers until next spring. Crack them open and drink.

Alternatively try this link

The biggest drawback is getting your hands on a fruit press. You would take until christmas with a juicer.
