Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Red Hots candies
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 3 oz box cherry Jello powder
  • 2 cups applesauce

Instructions

  • Put 1 cup water and ¼ cup Red Hots candies in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently until the candies are dissolved.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the 1 3 oz box cherry Jello powder until dissolved.
  • Add the 2 cups applesauce and stir until combined.
  • Transfer the mixture to your serving dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (but up to 3 days) before serving.

Notes

You can use sweetened or unsweetened applesauce.
Raspberry and cranberry Jello also work well in this recipe.
If you don't like cinnamon, leave out the candies. The Jello will still be great.
