Green Apple Sorbet
Before we dive into the recipe, let’s take a moment to enjoy the vibrant presentation of this dish.
Ingredients
Gather the following ingredients to create this delicious sorbet:
- 4-5 medium green apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to whip up your own batch of Green Apple Sorbet:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped green apples, lemon juice, and vanilla extract (if using). Blend until smooth.
- Add the cooled sugar syrup to the apple mixture and blend until fully combined.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow dish or ice cream maker, depending on your preferred method of freezing.
- If using a shallow dish, cover and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, use a fork to scrape and stir the mixture to prevent ice crystals from forming, until the sorbet reaches your desired consistency (approximately 3-4 hours).
- If using an ice cream maker, process according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the sorbet reaches a soft-serve consistency. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm.
Once ready, serve the Green Apple Sorbet in chilled bowls or cones, garnished with a slice of apple or a sprig of mint if desired. Enjoy this refreshing dessert as a standalone treat or alongside your favorite summer dishes. It’s a perfect way to cool down and delight in the natural flavors of fresh fruits.
