What You Need

pkg. (4-serving size each) JELL-O Strawberry Flavor Gelatin

1/4

tsp. ground cinnamon

cups water

medium apples, such as Granny Smith, McIntosh or Golden Delicious

1/2

cup thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping

Make It

COMBINE dry gelatin mix and cinnamon in 3- to 4-qt. saucepan. Add water. Bring to boil on medium-high heat, stirring frequently until gelatin is completely dissolved.

PEEL and core apples. Add to gelatin mixture in saucepan; partially cover saucepan with lid. Return to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 10 to 15 min. or just until apples are fork tender, gently turning apples every 5 min. Remove apples from liquid.

SERVE apples warm. Or, cool and store in tightly covered container in refrigerator at least 1 hour or overnight. Serve each apple topped with 2 Tbsp. of the whipped topping. Garnish with fresh mint, if desired.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Note

After draining the cooked apples, pour the cooking liquid evenly into eight dessert dishes. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or until set for a refreshing JELL-O snack!

Substitute

Prepare as directed, using any other flavor of red JELL-O Gelatin.

I thought this was pretty good, although I did end up with VERY mush apples. I put the remaining jello in the fridge, that was really good. It had a more "grown up" taste.

I wish there was less waste and less work in peeling apples- but my family loved the taste

My family and I agree that it needed a touch more cinnamon. But it was good.

I love this recipe, and have made it several times. I have used all kinds of different apples and jello flavors and they all turned out just fine. Even if they come out too mushy, it is still delicious. People are so surprised that Jello is in the recipe!

Careful on your cook time or they will get mushy....some of mine got a little mushy, but they were even good then! Great hit with my co-workers, the mint was best part.

Yum-O!! So easy AND nutritious! I used Golden Delicious apples and cranberry jello and also sprinkled cinnamon on top before serving. I tried it with just 2 apples the first time to make sure we'd like it & halved the recipe - I'll make this again for sure!

These apples are so good, my kids are picky eaters and they ate these things up! I made these at least a dozen times for them. And the smell you get from the apples when they cook is amazing, right away it feels like fall and pumpkin pickin days.

I made this for dessert and it turned out pretty good. I used braeburn apples, and they stayed in tact. No mushy-ness or applesauce. I also used sugar free jelo and lite cool whip, to save some calories and fat. However, the flavor wasn't very strong. I'm definitly going to make these again, but i think i'll use cranberry flavored jelo, to make the flavor stronger.
