I've been making this for a while.

There's a lot of wild yeast on the peel and core of the apple, so don't throw them out.
It takes a bit more time to make this in the winter.
If you add the same amount of boiled then cooled water as the starter you took out, plus sugar or honey to the remaining starter, let it ferment again and store in the refrigerator, the starter will stay alive for years.
You can add 100% apple juice instead of the boiled then cooled water to feed the starter too. In that case, don't add any sugar.
If there is only 1/3rd of the starter left, add the abovementioned starter additions, let it ferment at room temperature for 2 days or so, strain and store in the refrigerator. Recipe by Raichi

Steps

1

Sterilize the jar in boiling water. Fill it with finely chopped up apple (including the core). Add enough boiled then cooled water to cover the apples, and sugar or honey. Add some starter liquid if you have some, and leave the jar in a warm place.
2

Open up the jar to incorporate some air once a day until the starter is developed. When it is foamy and smells alcoholic it's done! It was so vigorous that it came shooting out of the jar when I opened the lid. It was done in 2 days.
3

Strain the liquid and press out the apple bits hard with a spoon. Return the liquid to the jar, and store in the refrigerator. When you have used up half of it, add boiled then cooled water plus sugar or honey.
4

When the starter liquid is down to 1/3 of its original amount, use that as the "mother" to make another batch of starter. You can keep it going like this for years.
5

Put sugar and boiled then cooled (30°C) water in a clean jar and dissolve the sugar. Add apple and mother starter to that and leave in a 25 to 30°C location. Mix it up once or twice a day. The starter will be done in about 2 days. Strain, and store in the refrigerator.
