If you have apples and want to make cider out of them you grind them coarsely and press out the juice in a cider press. A natural fermentation will occur after a couple of weeks of storage at room temperature in glass containers.
If what you want is apple juice you must stop the fermentation by bringing the juice to a boil the day you press the juice.
Any variety of apple works but the flavor will be different and usually people mix several types.
I made some out of Yellow Delicious some years back and it was delicious except it was sort of a yellowish/green color.
As with wine the color comes from the skin.
