Calvados and apple granité

Method

• step 1

  Put a shallow metal roasting tin into the freezer. Put all of the ingredients except the calvados into a pan and bring to the boil. Simmer gently until the apples have broken down to a pulp, then push through a fine sieve, getting out as much juice as possible

• step 2

  Cool to room temperature, then pour into the frozen roasting tin and spread out. Freeze for 30-45 minutes or until starting to solidify round the edges, then scrape up with a fork and return to the freezer. Repeat at regular intervals until you have a fluffy mound of granité.

• step 3

  Serve in glasses or bowls with a shot of calvados or brandy poured on top.
