With themachine running on Low, slowly pour the apple juice through the feed tube. Continue to process until thick and smooth, about 45 seconds.
2. Divide the mixture between two serving bowls and top with toppings of choice. (Tip: Chill serving bowls ahead of time to keep the thick, frozen consistency from going soupy.)
