1/8 tsp. cinnamon (optional)

1 C. unsweetened applesauce

2 C. apple juice

3 small packages unflavored gelatin*

 

In a small bowl, mix cinnamon into applesauce and set aside. Pour 1 C. cold apple juice in 8×8 pan and sprinkle gelatin on top. Heat remaining 1 C. of apple juice in the microwave for 3 minutes or until boiling. Stir boiling juice into the gelatin and cold apple juice. Stir in applesauce. Refrigerate for 1/2 hour and then stir to keep applesauce evenly distributed. If you omit this step the applesauce settles to the bottom, but it still tastes great! Refrigerate for an additional 2 1/2 hours or until firm.  Cut into squares with a knife, or use cookie cutters to cut into shapes, and serve. * Unflavored gelatin can be found near the jello at a grocery store. It is great to have on hand for making finger jello from juice. One envelope (7 grams) gels one C. of liquid.
