I think it's mostly mental/placebo honestly (and hype)...but the antioxidant effects of apple juice can be good for dream recall. However there are also many foods (like blueberries, etc.) which are much higher in antioxidants and would theoretically work even better if that were the case. Yet I see no one talking about them. I would be interested to see a decent study done, until then, I'm not going to go out and buy some apple juice. I think apple juice is just more popular and gets talked about because it's something a lot of people already have in their fridge and enjoy drinking, so it's easy to try out before bed. Bananas work better for dreams imo.
I might try to do an experiment with various fruits/drinks before bed.
