I had that discussion several times. Last time I was told that apple juice is less healthy than apples because of the fibres (missing in the juice).
After I have done some "research" on my own I found out that 100g Apple only contains 1g of fiber, so I guess the difference can't be that huge.
In animal testing it was found that mice who ate a diet that included apples had up to 50 percent less tumors. Now the exact same effect was achieved by giving them apple juice, with non-filtered apple juice being more effective, supposedly due to a higher concentration of Procyanidins.

Your digestive system has to tear away the outer layers to get to the sugar, this slows the absorption of the sugar and reduces the glycemic index. In juice the matrix has been mechanically separated so the glycemic effect is almost exactly the same as eating ten spoonfuls of white sugar.
