Ingredients
•
1 cup granulated sugar
•
3/4 cup Mott's® Natural Applesauce
•
1 (3 ounce) package pineapple-flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O®)
•
1 (1/4 ounce) package unflavored gelatin
•
3 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
•
3/4 teaspoon coconut extract
•
1/2 cup granulated sugar for coating
Directions
1
Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with non-fat cooking spray. Place dish in refrigerator.
2
Combine granulated sugar, applesauce, pineapple-flavored gelatin, unflavored gelatin, lime juice, and coconut extract in saucepan.

Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for about 1 minute. Remove saucepan from heat, and cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes. (Do not pour boiling hot liquid into a chilled glass dish.)
4
Remove baking dish from refrigerator, and pour warm mixture into the cooled baking dish. Refrigerate until firm, 1 to 2 hours.

When firm, remove from refrigerator, lift one side with a spatula, and turn out onto a cutting board or parchment paper sprinkled with granulated sugar.
