Blushing Apples

A Jell-O Recipe

2 pkg (serves 4 each) sugar free strawberry Jell-O (or other flavor)
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
4 cups cold water
4 medium apples (Granny Smith, Golden Delicious or McIntosh)
1/2 cup thawed fat free Cool Whip

Combine gelatin and cinnamon in a 3-4 quart pan.
Add watter and bring to a boil, stirring frequently until gelatin is dissolved.
Meanwhile, core and peel all 4 apples.
Add apples to gelatin mixture in pan and partially cover with lid.
Return to a boil, then reduce heat to Med-low and simmer 10-15 minutes or just until apples are fork tender. Turn apples over every 5 minutes.
Remove apples from liquid and serve warm with Cool Whip.
(To serve cold, refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.)

(You can chill the remaining liquid for a thick Jell-O for another dessert.)
