Well, fresh juice can spoil at different rates. Because it's not pasteurized it means that bacteria present on the outside of the fruit, in the container before squeezing and even in your juicer can severely diminish the life of your juice. Furthermore, once the juice is squeezed, the important minerals begin to break down. The longer it sits, the less potent it is. However, consider making a big batch and freezing servings. You can purchase resealable cups from tupperware and even gladware. Make a big batch, pour in a cup, put in the freezer. Before going to bed, pop one in the fridge and drink it up in the morning. Or, you can take it out of the freezer and put in your bag on your way to work. By noonhour it'll be ready to sip. I would estimate that you would get a few days out of the unpasteurized juice. Here's how to pasteurize if you want to get into it: # Pasteurize the juice using a double-boiler. Heat the juice to about 80º C (176º F), stirring frequently. Keep it at 80º C for at least 2 minutes. This will make sure that all E. coli 0157:H7 bacteria, as well as other organisms (moulds, etc.) are destroyed. # Pour the juice into clean, preheated bottles. Seal with new caps. The bottles must be preheated to prevent them from breaking due to heat shock. # This juice should keep a fairly long time if poured into bottles while it is still hot. The heat will destroy airborne yeast and mould. If the juice is bottled after it has cooled down, it will have a limited shelf-life, even if it is refrigerated.

Leave it in the pie pan and stick that puppy in the fridge. Some like it hot, so you can pop it back in the oven at 325 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes before serving it. Don't forget the vanilla ice cream to serve with it!

Yes ! Stick it in the Fridge.
Take it out about an hour before serving -- it will still taste fresh.
If some of your guests want a warm pie, they can pop their serving into a microwave or toaster oven for a bit.
Cold or rewarmed(especially) it's To Die For with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
That did it, I'm gonna make an apple pie.
Enjoy you pie as I will mine.
Have a Great Christmas eve meal !!

Certainly refrigerate it.
If you wish, reheat it for 15 minutes in a 400 degree F oven before serving.

If you want to be on the safe side, refigerate it after it cools off. Then re-warm it in the oven the day of the event.

For that long, I think I'd freeze it then thaw at room temp.
Better yet, if you haven't baked it already, make, freeze, then bake the day you need it.
