Substituting packaged juice for freshly-squeezed juice in recipes

Regarding this recipe, https://www.pinkladyapples.co.uk/in-the-kitchen/desserts/pink-lady-apple-and-elderflower-jellies, how much juice would 4 - 6 apples produce?  I don't have a juicer so I'll be using bought apple juice.

The recipe says about a pint of juice. 

 

1. Using a fruit juicer, juice the apples into a jug (you should get approximately a pint of juice) and stir through the lemon juice. Alternatively, if you’re short on time, you can use Pink Lady^® apple juice.

Happens to all of us now and then!   🙂

But my first reaction was that juicing fresh apples yields a whole hella different flavor than store juice unless you have a fresh press source which some framers markets and such provide.

It'll be from the supermarket, but when you consider there's lemon juice (it'll be freshly squeezed 😇), mint leaves and elderflower, I'm not sure I'd miss the fresh apple juice flavour.

Good flavors. I thought elderflower was pretty subtle but maybe it will add an interesting note.

We can buy what we call "cloudy apple juice" here. It is not froom concetrate and has great apple flavour.
