How to Make Green Apple Sorbet

  1. Cut, core, and coarsely slice 2 pounds of green apples.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced apples with 1/4 cup lemon juice, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup apple juice.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the apple mixture cool completely.
  5. Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and puree until completely smooth.
  6. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or solids. Transfer to a freezer-safe container.
  7. Stir in 2-3 drops of green food coloring (adjust to your desired intensity). Mix well and pour the mixture into the freezer-safe container.
  8. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  9. Once frozen, remove the sorbet from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
  10. Transfer the frozen sorbet to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth and creamy again. This step helps create a smoother texture.
  11. Return the sorbet to the freezer until ready to serve. Let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before scooping to ensure easy serving.
