Ingredients

• 1 medium Granny Smith apple (diced)
• 1 medium Honeycrisp apple (diced)
• 1 medium Fuji apple (diced)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 packets Unflavored gelatin
• 2 cups Apple juice
• 1 cup Water
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and core the Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Fuji apples. Dice them into small, even cubes. Place the diced apples in a bowl and toss them with lemon juice to prevent browning. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 1 cup of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the apple juice and granulated sugar. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar fully dissolves (about 5 minutes). Do not let it come to a boil.

Step 4

Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm apple juice mixture. Stir continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Once the gelatin mixture has cooled, fold in the diced apples. Stir gently to evenly distribute the apples throughout the mixture.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan or a decorative gelatin mold. Use a spatula to smooth the top.

Step 7

Cover the pan or mold with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

Step 8

To serve, run a knife around the edges of the pan or mold to loosen the gelatin. Place a serving plate upside-down on top of the pan, then invert the salad onto the plate.

Step 9

Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped walnuts, if desired. Slice and serve immediately.
