To make the sorbet, bring the sugar syrup and water to a boil and allow to cool. Then mix with the elderberry juice and a generous dash of lemon juice. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn into the sorbet. Peel the apples and cut them into wedges. Melt the sugar in a pan, allow to brown slightly, and then deglaze with Calvados. Add the apple slices and let them caramelize. Transfer everything to an ovenproof dish and bake with the blue cheese for about 15 to 20 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) using top/bottom heat. Place the baked apple slices on plates and drizzle with some of the blue cheese liquid that has formed in the dish. Top each with a scoop of sorbet.
