Hi everyone!

When we talk about sorbet, we usually think of the lemon version, mainly served between meat and fish courses during an elegant dinner.

Who says it has to be lemon?

Once you try the apple version, you can no longer do without it!

Preparation:

To prepare the green apple sorbet, first squeeze the lemon with a juicer and filter the juice to retain the seeds and excess pulp.

Wash the apples under running water, dry and cut into cubes without removing the skin, then transfer them in a bowl together with lemon juice and sugar.

Add water and blend everything with the help of an immersion mixer. Once you get a creamy consistency, gently mix the Whole Yogurt.

At this point, transfer the mixture to the freezer and let it rest at least 3 hours (IF YOU HAVE THE ICE CREAM MAKER, put it in the fridge and after a few hours in the ice cream maker for 40 minutes), taking care to turn it every 30 minutes to break the ice crystals.
