I use cider as the liquidy bit when I make Bigos, rather than beer which 
some people use.

Fry some leeks, stick in some random chopped up cooked meat (I generally 
use whatever random polish/hungarian sausages and meats that the 
cornershop has), add lots of sauerkraut, bung in cider and cook until you 
are hungry - I normally leave it going for 4 or 5 hours, topping up with 
cider when necessary, but my great uncle Mietek used to start it cooking 
the day before eating... Seasoning wise I normally bung in some caraway 
seed, paprika and black peppercorns, but not a lot else.

Cider sorbet? I've never made sorbet, but it might work...
