Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring now and then, until the apples are very soft. Let them cool for 30 minutes.
  2.

  3. Let the foam settle for 5 minutes, then pour into an empty tubpint, up to the max fill line, and put the lid on.
  4. Once it is completely cool, freeze the tubpint on a level shelf for 24 hours.
  5. Take the lid off, set the tubpint in the outer bowl and lock it into the machine. Run CreamiFit.
  6. Expect it to look powdery after the first spin. That is normal for protein soft serve.
  7. If it looks crumbly or powdery, add 15 ml semi-skimmed milk1 tbsp semi-skimmed milk1 tbsp 2% milk25 ml semi-skimmed milk1½ tbsp semi-skimmed milk1½ tbsp 2% milk and run Re-spin.
  8. On the Swirl, fit the dispensing lid and press the swirl handle to fill each cup.

To serve: Swirl into glass cups and dust with a little cinnamon.

My notes

Tips

  • Unsweetened applesauce works in place of the cooked apples: use the same weight, stir the cinnamon into it and skip the cooking. Plain Greek yogurt works in place of skyr.
  • Peel the apples for the palest, silkiest swirl, or leave the skins on for more fiber and tiny flecks. If nothing comes out, check that the white tubpint base is open. If the Swirl Press pulls back by itself, the tubpint is too crumbly: Re-spin with a splash of milk and try again.
  • Cook the apples up to 3 days ahead and keep them covered in the fridge. Leftovers: smooth the top flat, refreeze, then run CreamiFit again before serving.

Why it works

Cooked apples bring pectin and natural sugar that help the lean base hold its water, and skyr and protein powder stand in for the fat and sugar that usually keep soft serve smooth. Cinnamon cooked with the apples tastes like apple pie filling.
