Blushing Apples (Gluten Free)

Apples soaked up in jello, what else is there to say, except YUM! This recipe came from my KRAFT magazine that I recive. As soon as I saw this recipe I knew that it would be heavenly... not only was it heavenly but it was easy to make.I tried one apple warm and it was very delicious, but I preferred the refrigerated one best. However I found that the warm apple and the chilled apple were almost like 2 different treats... making this an even better recipe. Let me know which you liked best!
