Makes about 3 cups
Ingredients:
4 granny smith or green pippin apples (2 pounds)
2 cups sparkling dry apple cider
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, or to taste
Quarter the apples and remove the cores and seeds. Cut the unpeeled apples into1 inch chunks.
Combine the cider, sugar, and water and bring to a boil in a medium, nonreactive saucepan. Add the apples, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Simmer the apple chunks for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the apples steep until the mixture is room temperature.
Pass the apples and their liquid through and food mill fitted with a fine disk, or use a coarse-mesh strainer and press firmly on the apples to extract their pulp and all the liquid into a container. Discard the apple peels-they've given up their flavor at this point. Add the lemon juice. Taste and add more if you wish, since sparkling apple ciders can vary in sweetness.
Chill the mixture thoroughly, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
