Heat over medium heat until it boils. Cover, lower heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes or until the apples are very tender.  Remove from heat and let cool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add the lemon juice, lemon zest and apple brandy and mix well.  Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until very cold, at least 2 hours. Transfer to an ice cream maker and process following manufacturer&#8217;s instructions.  Transfer to a covered bowl, place in the freezer until it has the desired consistency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Adapted from <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruceeats.com\/apple-and-calvados-sorbet-recipe-1375778\"><em>Rebecca Franklin&#8217;s recipe<\/em><\/a><em> at The Spruce Eats.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I made this sorbet as a palate cleanser for my 2018 Christmas Eve dinner.
