Ingredients
- 3 medium (about 600g total) Green apples
- 2.5 cups Apple cider
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Wash and core the green apples, leaving the skin on for added flavor and color. Chop them into small pieces.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped green apples, apple cider, granulated sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the apples are slightly softened and the sugar is fully dissolved.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 5
Transfer the cooled mixture to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth.
Step 6
Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl or jug to remove any pulp or solids, pressing with a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible.
Step 7
Pour the strained mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish and place it in the freezer.
Step 8
After 1 hour, remove the dish from the freezer and use a fork to scrape and mix the partially frozen mixture to create a fluffy, icy texture. Return it to the freezer.
Step 9
Repeat the scraping process every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours, or until the Green Apple Cider Ice is fully frozen and has a granita-like consistency.
Step 10
When ready to serve, scrape the ice again with a fork to fluff it up, then spoon it into individual serving dishes or glasses. Serve immediately and enjoy!
