Single bottle cider recipe?

[ValerianNightmares]

So, I checked the recipe forum, not really sure what it is I'm looking for though.

Basically, this time of year the stores are packed with apple juice on sale. I had an idea to just take a one gallon glass jug of pasteurized apple juice and just pop the cap off, put in some yeast, and then plug it with a bubbler. Wait for it to ferment, then siphon into another bottle to avoid sediment.

Would this work? Should I add some sugar? Looking for an end result that's pretty light on alcohol, and still sweet.

If you have an airlock and the juice/cider doesn't have any preservatives it would work. You can use a hydrometer to see potential ABV. Adding sugar will increase potential alcohol. And from what I've read most apple juice/ cider will yield around 3-4% without added sugar.
