Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of apple cider and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Stir over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 3-5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    Once the sugar is dissolved, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the mixture. Stir well to combine and remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Chill Mixture

    Let the apple cider mixture cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.

Churning the Sorbet

  1. 4

    Transfer to Ice Cream Maker

    Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  2. 5

    Churn the Sorbet

    Churn the mixture in the ice cream maker until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, which usually takes about 20-25 minutes.

  3. 6

    Freeze the Sorbet

    Transfer the churned sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

Serving

  1. 7

    Scoop and Serve

    Once the sorbet is firm, scoop it into bowls. Optionally, garnish with cinnamon sticks and apple slices before serving.
