Green Apple Granité: A Refreshing Twist on Traditional Ice

Are you tired of the same old boring ice cubes in your drinks? Look no further! This Green Apple Granité recipe is a game-changer. With its vibrant green color and tangy apple flavor, it’s the perfect addition to any gathering.

The Secret to a Beautiful Pale Green Color

To achieve the perfect pale green hue, you can use fresh apple juice. However, if you’re short on time, store-bought juice works just as well. The resulting ice will have a slightly brownish tint, but it will still be delicious.

Pair It with Apple Tarts for a Match Made in Heaven

This refreshing treat is best served alongside sweet and crumbly Apple Tarts. The combination of textures and flavors is sure to impress your friends and family.

Easy to Make and Fun to Eat

With only three ingredients and a total prep time of 15 minutes, this recipe is a breeze to make. Plus, the process of scraping the pan to create a slushy texture is almost therapeutic!

Get Started with These Simple Ingredients

• 6 Granny Smith apples (or other tart baking apples)
• 3/4 cup Rich Simple Syrup
• 4 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions for a Perfect Granité

1. Juice Those Apples! Quarter the apples and juice them through a fruit juicer with the peels on. This helps maintain the bright green color.
2. Add Flavor and Sweetness Mix in the Rich Simple Syrup and lemon juice to taste.
3. Freeze and Scrape Pour the mixture into a shallow pan or glass baking dish and place it in the freezer. After 20 minutes, scrape the pan to break up the frozen bits and create a slushy texture. Repeat this process after 30 minutes, then freeze until ready to serve.
4. Alternative Method If you have an ice cream maker, you can use it to churn the mixture according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Tips and Variations

• For a more intense apple flavor, you can freeze the mixture overnight and scrape it the next day, similar to a granité.
• Experiment with different types of apples and flavor combinations to create unique variations.

With this easy and fun recipe, you’ll be the talk of the town at your next gathering. So go ahead, give it a try, and enjoy the oohs and aahs from your friends and family!
