Ingredients:

1 large Bramley (or other tart) apple, peeled cored and chopped
700ml water
100g granulated sugar
60ml lemon juice
1/4 tsp finely-grated lemon zest
60ml Calvados

Method:

Combine the apple, water and sugar in a medium pan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat then reduce to a low simmer and cook for 15 minutes, or until the apples are very soft.

Take off the heat, turn into a dish and set aside to cool to room temperature. Once cold, add in the lemon juice, lemon zest and calvados and stir to combine thoroughly. Place in a freezer-proof bowl and chill for about 90 minutes, or until very cold.

Either churn in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions or pour the mixture into a lidded container and place in the freezer until softly set. Remove from the freezer at this point and beat till smooth, but do not allow to melt. Return the container to the freezer and allow to refreeze. Beat again, and return to freezer, repeating the process until well set.
