Ingredients
- Ripe apricots
- 4 cups, halved and pitted
- Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (adjust based on sweetness of apricots)
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
- Water
- 1/2 cup
- Oats
- 1 cup
- All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup
- Unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup, melted
- Brown sugar
- 1/4 cup
- Vanilla ice cream
- for serving
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the halved apricots, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Transfer the apricot blend to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, which typically takes 20-30 minutes. This process aerates the mixture, resulting in a light and fluffy sorbet.
- While the sorbet is churning, prepare the crumble topping. In a mixing bowl, combine oats, flour, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix until crumbly but holds together when pressed. If desired, you can add nuts or spices like cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Once the sorbet has reached a soft, creamy texture, transfer it to a freezer-safe container.
- Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the sorbet. Gently press the topping into the sorbet to help it adhere and create a delightful crust.
- Cover the container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the sorbet is firm.
- To serve, scoop the apricot crumble sorbet into bowls or cones. Top with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra layer of flavor and creaminess.
Tips
- For a more intense apricot flavor, consider using a splash of apricot liqueur in the sorbet mixture before churning.
- Experiment with different fruits such as peaches or plums for a seasonal twist on this recipe.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can pour the blended mixture into a shallow dish and freeze it, stirring every 30 minutes until firm.
