Today I’m excited to share a new fall flavor of healthy, homemade gummies that I kind of accidentally created the other day!
I had some apple juice that I wanted to use up, and thought to myself, “I wonder if I could make apple cider flavored gummies….” so I tried it and it was a huge success!
My children *love* these healthy, homemade gummies, and the fall flavor addition didn’t disappoint any of us!
Okay, I always heard “healthy, homemade gummies” and thought they would be really hard to make, or really expensive, or just seemed too good to be true (cause I mean… gummy bears aren’t healthy, right? And surely a healthy version couldn’t taste as good as a gummy bear, right?).
WELL, I WAS WRONG.
These healthy, homemade gummies are delicious! And the fall flavor? Devine.
Here’s what you need:
- Organic, pure apple juice (Lakewood Organics is a fave)
- Organic Gelatin (this brand is my fave)
- Cinnamon
That’s it!
Here’s what you do:
- I like to pour the entire contents of the Lakewood Organics glass jar in a deep pan.
- Then, I will sprinkle the organic gelatin on top in thin layers until the bloom is pretty strong (usually like 2-3 scroops [the scoop is pretty small]).
- Let it bloom! Here a video example.
- Once it’s bloomed, I heat it up on low/medium for probably 5+ minutes to let the gelatin completely dissolve into the liquid. During this step I add in the cinnamon!
- Then I pour into a glass container and let cool to the touch, then put it in the fridge.
Once they’re in the fridge and cool completely, they will look like this:
There’s many people that will get fancy molds, which you can totally do to make it more fun! I’ll probably do that eventually, but for now this is easy (and one less thing I have in the kitchen). I just cut into squares to eat and enjoy!
My children are OBSESSED with these gummies, and I love that they’re getting really good animal product and protein in a snack that they think is a treat!
Plus, this flavor literally tastes like apple cider… so it’s super delicious and perfect for the season!
That’s it! Super easy, right?!
Have you ever made gummies? Or are you thinking you’ll try now?!
If you end up making them, I’d love to see! Tag me on instagram @rosalynnelove so I can cheer you on!
