Apple Jelly with Gelatin

Step 1

Wash the apples, peel them, and remove the cores and seeds. Trim off any damaged areas if necessary. Cut the peeled flesh into small pieces, place in a saucepan, and add 1 cup of water.

Step 2

Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer the apples for 15–20 minutes, until softened. Cool to a comfortable temperature.

Step 3

Using a blender, puree the cooled apples until smooth. Add the sugar and mix thoroughly until completely dissolved.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the gelatin with half a cup of water and let it bloom. This usually takes 10-15 minutes. Then, gently warm the gelatin until it becomes smooth. You can do this in a double boiler or over low heat. Just don't let the mixture boil, or the jelly won't set.

Step 5

Pour the gelatin into the puree and mix well. You can also add the remaining apple juice. Divide the mixture among bowls, glasses, or molds. Let the dessert cool, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

Step 6

Serve the applesauce jelly once it's completely set. If you used molds, dip them in warm water for a few seconds—this will make it easier to transfer the jelly to a plate.

Sugar-free apple jelly candies are a dietary dessert, healthy for both children and adults. Apples contain essential vitamins (such as vitamin C for immunity and vitamin B for the nervous system), pectin, which regulates intestinal function, and minerals that strengthen the body. Gelatin, rich in collagen and amino acids, also plays a significant role in maintaining vitality and energy. These apple jelly candies do not contain refined sugar, which adds calories and leads to rapid spikes in blood sugar: their sweetness comes from the natural sweetness of the fruit itself. Try this dessert if you love the delicate texture of jelly and the apple flavor.

This healthy, natural dessert is made without sugar, but will satisfy even the most discerning sweet tooth. Like a cloud of air, this delicacy melts in your mouth and saturates your body with vitamins and minerals. To make this apple dessert delicious without adding sugar, choose a sweet apple variety. For a more balanced flavor with a pleasant, slightly tart note, use sweet-and-tart apples.

In the recipe below, we'll show you how to make spiced apple jelly without adding any thickeners and preserve it for the winter. You'll need 2 kg of green, sweet-and-sour apples: Simirenko apples are best, but Antonovka and Granny Smith apples will also work. We don't specify the exact amount of sugar in the ingredients; it will depend on the volume of apple juice extracted. A good rule of thumb is 400 g of granulated sugar per 0.5 liters of apple juice.
