Preparation Bring water and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then simmer 5 minutes. Transfer to a metal bowl set into an ice bath, then stir in cider and Calvados and quick-chill, stirring occasionally, until very cold, 15 to 30 minutes. Freeze sorbet in ice cream maker, then transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer until soft-frozen, at least 2 hours. Stir before serving if separated. Cooks' note:Sorbet keeps 1 week.
