Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Green apples (Granny Smith preferred)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 250 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 150 milliliters Apple juice (unsweetened)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 4 leaves Optional: Mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Start by washing and peeling the green apples. Core them and cut them into small chunks.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved. This will take about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the simple syrup cool to room temperature.
Place the apple chunks, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
Add the apple juice and the cooled simple syrup to the blender. Blend again until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove any pulp or fibers. Use the back of a spoon to press the mixture through the sieve if necessary.
Pour the strained mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes, depending on the machine.
Once churned, transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to firm up.
Serve scoops of the green apple sorbet in chilled bowls or glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
