So tragically, Halloween is over. I sadly packed away all my decorations. However, it’s now time to hunker down and turn our creative cooking energy to Thanksgiving, the biggest food day of the year in the USA and my second favorite Holiday. Hello Apple Pie Spice Sorbet.
This sorbet made with fresh apples and spiked with apple pie spice. It is sweet, slightly tart and the spices seasonal fall flavor.
The best part is it’s another Another great make-ahead, simple to prepare dessert for Thanksgiving or any Fall gathering. You can easily double or triple the Apple Pie Spice Sorbet recipe to serve a large group. for the sake of your Thanksgiving prep schedule, consequently, this will up the prep time and chill time of the recipe.
The Apple pie spice used in this Apple Pie Spice Sorbet is specifically a mix of ground spices. cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and cardamom and sometimes clove and ginger. You can buy it ready-made or easily whisk together your own to your own preference. Include or leave out whichever ingredient you like best or least.
I like to up the allspice and clove ingredients. However, I also double the spices in my gingerbread recipe. I love strong spices. That’s not to everyone’s taste.
In addition, feel free to swap out the cider for apple juice if that’s what you have on hand.
I cut the apple peels into slivers. Alternately, use serrated scissor if you want to make them fancier. Furthermore, if there are some large apple peel pieces, you can also use miniature cutters to create shapes. Or cut them into shapes with serrated scissors.
This Apple Pie Spice sorbet is so easy to make and will save you tons of time in preparing your holiday meal.
