I adapted this from similar recipes found online. Mixing the Crystal Light with the sugar they're rolled in gives them a great burst of sour flavor to help offset the sweetness a little. This recipe is also easily customizable to get the flavor you want.

Categories     Gelatin

Time 3h30m

Yield 130 gumdrops, 26 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 2/3 cups applesauce
2 (9 5/8 g) packets appeltini powdered drink mix, divided (Crystal Light)
4 (2 7/8 ounce) boxes green apple jolly rancher gelatin
5 (1/4 ounce) envelopes unflavored gelatin
2 teaspoons lemon juice
4 2/3 cups sugar, divided

Steps:

  • Spray a 9" x 13" pan on bottom and well up the sides with nonstick spray.
  • Combine 4 c sugar, 1 packet appletini Crystal Light and all other ingredients in a large saucepan and allow to rest for 1 minute.
  • Stirring constantly, bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 2 minutes.
  • Pour into 9" x 13" pan.
  • Place in refrigerator to cool for at least 3 hours. Pan may rest on counter for ~15 minutes to significantly reduce sloshing while being moved.
  • Spray a nonporous cutting board with nonstick spray.
  • Run a knife along the edge of the pan to loosen the gumdrops, then turn onto greased cutting board.
  • Cut into ~3/4 inch cubes. A greased pizza wheel is highly recommended, or a cookie cutter can be used to make fun shapes.
  • In a small bowl, combine 2/3 c sugar and 1 packet appletini Crystal Light.
  • Roll gumdrops in sugar/Crystal Light to coat.
  • Allow to sit uncovered for a couple hours until dry.
  • Store in an airtight container.

I'm not usually a fan of sour candy, but these gumdrops are an exception. The sourness is perfectly balanced with the sweetness, and the apple flavor is really refreshing.

These gumdrops are a bit chewy, but I like that. They're not too hard and they're not too soft. They're just the right consistency.

These gumdrops are a great way to use up extra apples. I had a bunch of apples that were starting to go bad, so I decided to make these gumdrops. They turned out great and they were a delicious way to use up the apples.
