The apple pulper works fine. An old $10 waste disposal unit, taken apart
and cleaned up and then reassembled. Now in its own collapsable stand. It
can be lifted in and out for portability and sits in a small aluminium
sink. After about the 8th apple the pulped up apples start sliding out
the bottom tube. Each whole apple takes about 5-10 seconds to become
mush. The pulping will be over in a few hours rather than the 2 days
processing through the food processor. The WD unit must be easily 20+
years old and is solid so should handle a bit of abuse.

I don't think you could ever clean up a used garbage disposal enough for
me to trust its output for human consumption. There must be a better
way....

do a youtube search - a dozen or more examples. Mine was stripped right down
and buffed back to clean metal, water blasted and put through an extended
dish wash. As far as crushing apples goes, there isn't an easier or better
way that I can see.
