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!
