Red Hot Applesauce Jello Dessert Recipe | How Was Your Day? (2024)
By Greta Brinkley
Red Hot Applesauce Jello. If you’re old-school, your mouth is probably already watering. If you’re a bit younger, I can almost hear asking what the heck this concoction I speak of is. It’s one of those classic recipes that everyone made in the 1950s and 1960s, but that seems to have been forgotten about. The first thing you need to know about it is that it’s delicious. The second thing you need to know is that it’s easy to make. It doesn’t get much better than that.
My mom wasn’t a big Jello fan, so she never made it. But when I’d go visit my dad, my step mom’s family would make applesauce jello bars because they were easy, inexpensive, and apparently I was impressed! I could seriously eat my weight in those tasty bars. I always have fond memories of childhood where those bars are concerned, so when I whip up my Red Hot Applesauce Jello, I get a blast of delicious flavor and some major nostalgia. You might or might not get the nostalgia factor when you make these, but you’ll definitely get a flavor blast you’ll love.
Red Hot Applesauce Jello isn’t difficult to make. In fact, it’s really simple and practically foolproof. You need just 4 simple, easy to find ingredients, and some time. It’s also fairly low calorie, and cheap to make. It has a sweet flavor with a bit of a cinnamon kick, in the same vein as these Spicy Red Velvet Cupcake Cones. If you ever had Red Hots as a kid, you’ve probably already guessed fairly accurately how this Jello treat tastes. If you haven’t get ready for a taste sensation.

Originally used to decorate cookies, cakes and gingerbread houses, Red Hots now can be found on ingredient lists for a variety of dishes, particularly those involving apples. Red Hots melt easily into any hot liquid or sauce, turning it a light pink and leaving a slightly sweet burn on the tongue.
It's important to use the right amount of water, as using too much or too little can affect the taste and texture of the Jell-O. Additionally, you can add fruit, whipped cream, or other ingredients to enhance the flavor.
If you'd like to make the jello set faster, use enough ice cubes to fill 1 cup (240 milliliters). Keep in mind that the jello will start to set up rapidly, so you will need to work quickly. If you are using a larger, 6-ounce (170 grams) packet of jello, use 2 cups (475 milliliters) of cold water.
box of Jell-O (that's 1/3 cup) uses 1 cup of boiling water and 1 cup of cold water. The 6 ox. box of Jell-O (that's 2/3 cup) uses 2 cups of boiling water and 2 cups of cold water. Other things can be substituted for some of the water: fruit juice, kefir, etc.
Pan (Stove Top) - Preheat the eye on your stove top to medium heat. Add a small amount of oil to the pan. Wing the Red Hots and place them in them in the pan. Cook for 4 - 6 minutes on one side and turnover for another 4 - 5 minutes (black charred line means it's done).
In summary, while cinnamon itself has some potential health benefits, red hot cinnamon candies are not a good source of these benefits and should be consumed in moderation due to their high sugar content and potential for harm from large amounts of cinnamon oil.
There are a few reasons: Jell-O is easy to swallow and digest, making it suitable for patients who have difficulty eating solid foods or have digestive issues. It's smooth texture and mild flavor make it more tolerable for those with sensitive stomachs or who are recovering from surgery.
Not only does it yield a luxurious texture, it dramatically improves the flavor of a pudding mix. For a tropical twist, reach for some canned coconut milk. It's rich, and the gorgeous taste is ideal for taking your instant pudding from meh to amazing.
Freezing prepared Jell-O gives it a totally new texture that makes it even more fun to eat. The clear, jiggly gel transforms into a cloudy neon color that's almost entirely opaque. The texture is still soft and chewy, but it's lighter and more airy, even when completely frozen.
If you are preparing the Jello with hot water, the water needs to cool down before you put it in the fridge. If you put it in too soon, you're putting the other food in the fridge at risk because it will no longer be properly cooled if you put in something hot.
Simply add 2 cups boiling water to the gelatin mix, stir for 2 minutes until completely dissolved, stir in 2 cups cold water, then refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm. Each family size Jell-O gelatin dessert mix is individually packaged in a 6-ounce sealed pouch and makes 8, 1/2-cup servings.
Just add the contents of this pack to boiling water, stir and let it set in cold water. Enjoy this dessert as is or get creative and use them to make fun treats. Use them to make parfaits topped with whipped cream and fresh cut fruit or hollow out your favorite fruits and fill them with this tasty gelatin dessert.
Place candy melts, oil, and Red Hots in a microwave safe bowl.Heat for about 2 minutes, stirring well every 30 seconds. The Red Hots will stick to the side of the bowl so be sure to scrape it when you stir.
Place your prepared red hots onto the preheated grill or stovetop. Cook them for about 4-6 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. Be mindful not to overcook them, as they can become dried out. The ideal internal temperature for red hots is around 160°F (71°C).
