There’s a satisfying noise to be had from this apple crusher – the first stages of making cider<\/p>\n

The crunch has some of the biting into an apple sound. The ripping apart sound is ever so slightly ghoulish, one for Halloween…<\/p>\n

After this was recorded a bunch of people joined in with their kids.
