Ingredients
- 1 Red Delicious apple per person
- 4 packets of Jello gelatin (sugar-free or regular, depending on preference)
Instructions
-
Wash Apples: Start by thoroughly washing the Red Delicious apples under running water to remove any dirt or residue. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
-
-
Prepare Apples: Once the apples are clean, invite each person to take an apple and cut it in half using a sharp knife. Then, cut each half into quarters, resulting in eight apple slices per person.
-
Remove Seeds: Using a knife or a small spoon, carefully remove the seeds and any tough core from each apple slice. Discard the seeds and core.
-
Prepare Jello: Divide the Jello gelatin packets among the participants, ensuring each person has about 1/3 of a packet. If using sugar-free Jello, adjust the quantity accordingly, as you may need more packets due to the smaller amount of crystals.
-
Assemble Snackers: Provide each person with a plastic baggie and instruct them to pour their portion of Jello powder into the bag.
-
Add Apple Slices: Now, invite everyone to place one apple slice into their baggie containing the Jello powder. Seal the bag tightly to prevent any spills.
-
Shake and Dance: Cue some lively music and let the fun begin! Encourage the group to shake their baggies vigorously to coat the apple slices with the flavored Jello powder. Keep shaking until the music stops, which should take about one minute.
-
Enjoy the Sweetness: Once the music stops, it’s time to unveil the fruity goodness! Open the baggies and savor the sweet and tangy flavor of the Jello-coated apple slices.
-
Repeat and Share: Continue the process until everyone has enjoyed their fruity apple snack. Encourage sharing and laughter throughout the activity.
Tips and Variations
- Peeling Preference: Whether to peel the apples or not is entirely up to personal preference. Leaving the peel on adds extra fiber and nutrients, but feel free to peel them if preferred.
- Jello Options: Experiment with different flavors of Jello gelatin to create a variety of colorful and flavorful apple snackers. From classic strawberry and raspberry to exotic tropical blends, the possibilities are endless!
- Allergen-Friendly: This recipe can easily accommodate various dietary needs. Opt for sugar-free Jello for a lower sugar option, and choose allergen-free Jello brands for those with specific dietary restrictions.
- Creative Presentation: Get creative with the presentation by arranging the apple snackers on a platter or serving them in colorful bowls. Garnish with fresh mint leaves or edible flowers for an extra touch of elegance.
