Time 1h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

5 Granny Smith apples, about 3 1/2 pounds
4 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cups confectioners' sugar
Calvados, if desired

Steps:

  • Core and peel the apples. Cut them into eighths, then slice each section into thin strips. There should be about 4 cups. Place them in a food processor with the lemon juice. Add the sugar and blend until smooth.
  • Transfer the mixture to an ice cream freezer and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Serve in individual cups with a glass of Calvados on the side. Or pour the Calvados over the sorbet when serving.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality Calvados: The quality of the Calvados will greatly affect the flavor of the sorbet. Look for a Calvados that is at least 40% alcohol by volume (ABV) and has been aged for at least two years.
  • Chill the Calvados before using: This will help to prevent the sorbet from becoming icy.
  • Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender will help to create a smooth and creamy sorbet.
  • Don't over-churn the sorbet: Over-churning can make the sorbet icy. Churn the sorbet just until it is firm enough to scoop.
  • Serve the sorbet immediately or store it in the freezer: The sorbet can be served immediately or stored in the freezer for up to two weeks.
