Ninja Creami Green Apple Sorbet
Ingredients
4 large green apples 🍏
1/2 cup granulated sugar 🍚
1/2 cup water 💧
1 tablespoon lemon juice 🍋
A pinch of salt 🧂
Directions
- Prepare the apples: Wash the green apples thoroughly. Peel, core, and chop them into small pieces.
- Make the syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Blend the apples: In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped apples, lemon juice, and the cooled sugar syrup. Blend until smooth.
- Prepare the Ninja Creami container: Pour the apple mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, making sure not to exceed the max fill line. Secure the lid tightly.
- Freeze: Place the pint container in the freezer and freeze for at least 24 hours. This ensures the sorbet base is solid enough for the Creami to churn.
- Process the base: After 24 hours, remove the pint from the freezer. Insert it into the Ninja Creami, select the “Sorbet” setting, and start the machine.
- Enjoy: Scoop the freshly made green apple sorbet into bowls or cones. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Tips for the Perfect Green Apple Sorbet
- Use tart apples: For the best flavor, use tart green apples like Granny Smith.
- Chill your syrup: Ensure the sugar syrup is completely cooled before blending with the apples. This helps maintain the sorbet’s texture.
- Balance the sweetness: Taste the apple mixture before freezing. If it’s too tart, add a bit more sugar; if it’s too sweet, add a bit more lemon juice.
Variations to Try
- Apple Cinnamon Sorbet: Add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the apple mixture for a warm, spiced flavor.
- Apple Mint Sorbet: Add a few fresh mint leaves to the blender for a refreshing minty twist.
- Apple Ginger Sorbet: Add a teaspoon of freshly grated ginger for a spicy kick.
Storing Your Sorbet
Store any leftovers in the Ninja Creami pint container with the lid tightly secured. Keep it in the freezer and enjoy within a week for the best taste and texture. If the sorbet hardens too much, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping.
