Recipe: Exquisite Green Apple Sorbet

Ingredients

• 500g (4 cups) green apples, peeled and cored
• 200g (1 cup) granulated sugar
• 118ml (1/2 cup) water
• 59ml (1/4 cup) fresh lemon juice
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Simple Syrup

In a saucepan, combine 200g (1 cup) of granulated sugar with 118ml (1/2 cup) of water. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar has completely dissolved. Once dissolved, remove from heat and let it cool down.

Step 2: Blend the Apples

Chop the peeled and cored green apples roughly, and place them into a blender or food processor. Add 59ml (1/4 cup) of fresh lemon juice, the lemon zest, and the simple syrup you prepared. Blend until the mixture achieves a smooth consistency.

Step 3: Strain the Mixture

Pass the blended apple mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp for a smoother sorbet texture. Discard the solids.

Step 4: Churn the Sorbet

Pour the strained mixture into your ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, which usually takes about 20-25 minutes until the sorbet is smooth and has thickened.

Step 5: Freeze

Transfer the churned sorbet into an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm for a more scoopable texture.

Step 6: Serve

Once firm, remove the sorbet from the freezer and allow it to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping. Garnish with a slice of green apple or a sprig of mint, and enjoy your exquisite green apple sorbet!
