Step 1: Bloom the Gelatin
Pour apple juice and apple cider into a large saucepan. Sprinkle unflavored gelatin evenly over the liquid. Let sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Step 2: Heat the Mixture
Place the saucepan over low heat. Stir gently until the gelatin dissolves completely. Do not boil.
Step 3: Add Flavoring
Add flavored gelatin, sugar, cinnamon powder, and lemon juice. Stir continuously until fully dissolved and smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Step 4: Color and Pour
Add food coloring if desired. Pour mixture into silicone molds, mini cups, or a parchment-lined pan for cutting later.
Step 5: Chill to Set
Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or until completely firm. Once set, remove from molds or cut into bite-sized drops.
