Comment on Why isn't apple a popular ice cream flavor?

I’ve recently had a similar discussion on why orange ice cream isn’t that popular, but exists in form of water ice
Our conclusion was that acidic flavors, like orange and apple can be just aren’t good combined with cream, instead being better served as a sorbet
Orange creamcicle flavored ice cream is pretty easy to find. But I think it’s usually vanilla ice cream with layers of orange sherbet. Strawberries are acidic and strawberry ice cream is a popular flavor.
In my experience, apples just don’t taste very good when frozen. Maybe that’s why they don’t sell frozen apples at most supermarkets?
I make ice cream as a hobby and found orange ice cream is too rich to eat even a scoop in one sitting. It’s completely possible but it’s hard to eat.
I had this delightful tangerine sorbet. a golfball scoop is all we needed
Ok. Why is apple or grape sorbet uncommon?
Yup. Sorbet is often made with orange or lemon flavours.
Lemon ice cream is great, though.
