Ingredients

2 Apples cored, peeled and diced
1 1/2 cups Apple Cider
1 tbsp Granulated Sugar
1 Cinnamon Stick
4 whole Cloves
2 pieces Crystallized Ginger

Instructions

In a saucepan, combine apples, cider, sugar, cinnamon, cloves and ginger. Bring to a simmer; cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes or until apples are very soft. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Remove cinnamon, cloves and ginger. Place remaining mixture into blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Pour into 8 inch (1.5 L) square metal pan and freeze partially for about 1 hour or until edges start to solidify. Use a fork to stir mixture up and create “flakes” every 1 hour until it is completely frozen, about 6 hours later.
