Blushing Apples

This lovely dish came from a Kraft Foods magazine.

2 pkg (serves 4 each) sugar free strawberry Jell-O (or any flavor)
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
4 C cold water
4 medium apples (Granny Smith, Golden Delicious or McIntosh)
½ C thawed fat free Cool Whip

*Combine gelatin and cinnamon in a 3-4 QT pan. Add water, 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, chill apples in refrigerator at least 1 hour, or overnight.)

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