Ingredients
-
1 (3 ounce) package cherry gelatin or 1 (3 ounce) package wild cherry gelatin
-
1 cup boiling water
-
1 1/4-1 1/2 cups applesauce or 1 1/4-1 1/2 cups cinnamon applesauce, chilled (a small jar usually works just fine)
-
1 -3 firm-sweet apple, cored and cut into 1/2 inch chunks (such as Fuji; use more or less according to size and preference)
Instructions
- Dissolve gelatin into boiling water in a LARGE bowl (you're going to want the room when you add the other ingredients to prevent splashing).
- Add applesauce all at once.
- Stir until thoroughly mixed.
- Pour into an 8 by 8 casserole or a shallow dish, and cover.
- Refrigerate until partially set (about 1 1/2 hours is good).
- Stir in apple chunks, if desired.
- Refrigerate an additional 1 1/2 to 3 hours, until set.
- This recipe will not set quite as firm as traditional gelatin.
