This recipe was written on a slip of lined paper and found in a large collection, date unknown. It mentions both lime Jello and Knox Gelatin as ingredients but the directions only mention Jello–I think both are needed but if you have this recipe or will be trying it, please clarify this in the comments section below. Recipe is typed below along with a scanned copy (front side only). There are notes on the back about how the author makes this.

Applet Candy

2 c applesauce
2 c sugar
2 pkg lime Jello
2 Knox Gelatin

Place applesauce, sugar and Jello in saucepan. Cook gently 15 min, add 1 c cocoanut or chopped nuts. Pour in well buttered 8″x4″x3″ pan. Let set until well thickened and cool.

Turn out on wax paper sprinkled with powdered sugar. Let set for several hours to dry on top.

Cut in 1″ squares and roll in powd. sugar.

Usually I pour it in a 7″x11″ shallow pan.

I use different flavors of Jello.

Some I put cocoanut in and some I put nuts in.
