Northwest Apple Candy
I haven't tried this recipe and I adapted it from the original which used sugar instead of Splenda.
Northwest Apple Candy
1 cup chopped (red or golden) Delicious apples
Cold water
5 tablespoons reserved apple liquid (see in recipe)
2 cups granulated Splenda
3 envelopes of unflavored gelatin (approximately 2 1/2 tablespoons)
1 cup cold water
1 T. lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Powdered (confectioner) sugar
Spray an 8-inch square pan with PAM.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, add chopped apples and enough cold water to cover apples by 1 inch. Bring to a boil; boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Turn heat to low and simmer another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Drain off liquid, reserving 5 tablespoons apple liquid. In a food processor, puree apples with reserved apple liquid until smooth. Return apple mixture back to saucepan over low, add Splenda and heat and stir just until Splenda is dissolved. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, combine gelatin and cold water; add to apple/Splenda mixture, stirring constantly until dissolved. Add lemon juice and walnuts; stir until well blended.
Pour into prepared pan; cool at least 2 hours but preferably overnight. With an oiled knife, cut into 1-inch squares, then roll in powdered sugar.
Store, covered, in the refrigerator.
Makes 64 candy squares.
