Mmmm, apples. Our are pretty much gone, sadly. We only got a gallon and a half of cider after making all that applesauce. But we still have lots of pears, so some of those will be made into cider.
Scrumping. There was a great line of apple trees on the old A27 that I used to scrump but the best variety was always destroyed by bird pecks (like half eaten by bird pecks).
That's a good haul of foraged apples. Friends with apple trees here now have me on their "she'll have a boxful" list . . . I try and store them as long as possible, and use for baking.
Here, cider is not alcoholic as a rule. Apple juice has a higher water content. Cider can become an alcoholic drink. I would like to see the juicer you use. Forgive me if you have shown it before.
