Apple Sorbet with Carmelized Apples
7 golden delicious apples or 10 medium macintosh apples (about 3 lbs)1/4 cup fresh lemon juice from 1 lemon
1/2 cup granulated sugar plus 1 tbsp
3 granny smith apple (about 1 1/2 lbs)
1 tbsp confectioner's sugar
Peel, halve and core the Golden Delicious or McIntosh apples. Toss
them with 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice to coat. Crush the apples
in a juice extractor, reserving the juice and pulp separately.
Stir 5 tablespoons of the granulated sugar into the apple juice. Pour
the syrup into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the
manufacturer's instructions until the sorbet is firm but not grainy, about
20 minutes. Transfer the sorbet to a freezer container and freeze while
you proceed or up to 4 hours.
Meanwhile, in a medium nonreactive saucepan, combine the reserved
apple pulp and the remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 4 tablespoons
granulated sugar with 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil over moderately
high heat and cook, stirring, until smooth, about 2 minutes. Strain the
liquid into a medium heatproof bowl and let cool.
Peel, quarter and core 2 of the Granny Smith apples; cut lengthwise
into very thin slices. Add the apples to the strained liquid.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Peel and core the remaining Granny
Smith apple. Slice it crosswise into 1/8 inch rings. Place the rings on
a nonstick baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and
bake for about 8 minutes, or until lightly browned. Sprinkle the rings
with the confectioner's sugar, place under the broiler and broil for about
30 seconds, or until the sugar melts. Let cool completely, then transfer
to the freezer while you proceed.
To serve, scoop some of the sliced Granny Smith apples with their
liquid into chilled dessert bowls; dollop the sorbet on top. Garnish with
the caramelized apple rings.
