Apple Pie Granita

• Recipe by Emeril Lagasse

the good news Natural-style apple juice—less filtered than regular—is high in vitamin C and antioxidants. Here, Lagasse transforms it into a refreshing granita.

Ingredients

1. 3 cups natural-style apple juice
2. 1/2 cup sugar
3. 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
5. Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
6. Pinch of ground allspice

Directions

1. In a saucepan, combine all of the ingredients and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved, 3 minutes. Pour into an 8-inch square glass baking dish. Freeze until icy around the edges, about 1 hour. Using a fork, scrape the icy shards into the center. Continue to freeze, stirring occasionally, until slushy throughout, about 3 hours longer. Scoop into bowls and serve.
