Red cinnamon candy gelatin dessert

Using unsweetened applesauce in this recipe instead of regular applesauce cuts down on the amount of sugar without sacrificing the added texture.

Ingredients

2 cups water
1 cup red cinnamon candies
2 3-ounce boxes red gelatin (You can use strawberry or cherry flavor.)
4 cups unsweetened applesauce
fresh basil, for garnish

Directions

1. In a large saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a light boil. Add cinnamon candies. Stir until dissolved.
2. Add both boxes of red gelatin. Stir until dissolved. Remove from heat.
3. Add applesauce and mix well.
4. Pour into a 9-by-13-inch cake pan. Place in refrigerator until set firm (about 2 to 3 hours).
5. Garnish dessert with fresh basil. Serve chilled.
