• Place apple in a blender, and liquidize them with juice of 1 lemon and the cooled sugar syrup until as smooth as possible. The peel will add texture, and prevent the mixture from being completely smooth.

• Return to the freezer until ready to use.

Steps:

Strain mixture through a sieve into a blender and add half of solids in sieve to blender, discarding remaining solids. Purée apple mixture and chill until cold. Freeze sorbet in an ice-cream maker. Sorbet may be made 1 week ahead.

Steps:

• Set up an ice bath in a large bowl.

• Put the lemon juice in the container that will be catching the apple juice.
• Core the apples and put them through a juicer. Skim the foam and pour the juice through a fine strainer into the container with the lemon juice. Measure out 3 1/3 cups and add to the syrup.

• Preheat the oven to 325F; peel and core the remaining Granny Smith apple; slice it crosswise into 1/8-inch rings; place the rings on a nonstick baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silpat and bake for about 8 minutes, or until lightly-browned; sprinkle the rings with the confectioners’ sugar, place under the broiler and broil for about 30 seconds or until the sugar melts; let cool completely, then transfer to the freezer while you proceed.
• To serve, scoop some of the sliced Granny Smith apples with their liquid into chilled dessert bowls; dollop the sorbet on top; garnish with the caramelized apple rings.
