Apple snaps are what you make when you want a simple, refreshing dessert that’s actually good for you.

Sugar-free Jello dissolves in boiling water, then you stir in chilled applesauce and a pinch of cinnamon instead of the usual cold water.

Chill until set, then serve in pretty dishes garnished with fresh mint, thin apple slices, and a cinnamon stick.

Pro Tips

  • Use unsweetened, well-chilled applesauce so it helps the gelatin set faster
  • Any flavor of sugar-free Jello works; cherry or strawberry are particularly good with apples
  • Garnish just before serving so the apple slices don’t oxidize and turn brown
