Ingredients
- 6 ounces Red gelatin (such as cherry or raspberry flavor)
- 2 cups Boiling water
- 1.5 cups Cold water
- 0.5 cups Cinnamon candies (red hots)
- 2 medium Apples (crisp variety, such as Granny Smith or Gala)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Whipped topping
- 0.5 cups Chopped pecans (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the red gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water.
Step 2
While the gelatin is still hot, stir in the cinnamon candies until fully melted and combined.
Step 3
Add 1.5 cups of cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir well. Let the mixture cool slightly at room temperature.
Step 4
Peel and core the apples, then dice them into small pieces. Toss the diced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Step 5
Once the gelatin mixture has cooled but is not yet set, fold in the diced apples.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into a serving dish or gelatin mold and refrigerate for 4-6 hours, or until fully set.
Step 7
Before serving, top with whipped topping and sprinkle with chopped pecans, if desired.
