Indulge in the ultimate icy treat with this dreamy Apple and Cinnamon Sorbet, a refreshing fusion of crisp sweet apples and warming notes of cinnamon. Perfectly balancing fruity freshness and cozy spice, this dessert is incredibly simple to make with just six pantry staples like Gala or Fuji apples, ground cinnamon, and a touch of vanilla extract. Simmered to perfection and blended into smooth, creamy bliss, the mixture freezes into a light and luscious sorbet that will delight your taste buds. With a hint of zesty lemon juice to brighten the flavors and no need for an ice cream maker, this sorbet is the epitome of effortless elegance. Serve it as a light after-dinner dessert or a mid-afternoon palate cleanser, garnished with crushed cinnamon or fresh mint for an extra dash of sophistication.
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped apples, water, sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the apples are soft and tender.
Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Be careful when blending hot liquids; allow steam to escape to prevent pressure buildup.
Stir in the lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
Pour the blended mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Allow it to cool completely to room temperature before placing it in the freezer.
Freeze the mixture for 3-4 hours, stirring with a fork every 30-60 minutes to break up ice crystals and achieve a smooth texture.
Once fully frozen, scoop the sorbet into serving dishes and enjoy! Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or a fresh mint leaf.
