While trying to make an apple foam, I accidentally use 4% methylcellulose and xanthan gum, instead of .4% as prescribed by Wylie Dufresne on the Next Iron Chef. So I just kept adding apple juice until I got a consistency that I liked, poured the mixture into a silicone demi-sphere mold and froze it. It had a texture similar to a granita, and tasted like apple sauce. Something I will definitely have to try again, maybe with the strawberries left over from Valentine's.
