  • 275 mins

Ingredients

  • 4 large oranges
  • 2 cups apple juice, chilled
  • 1/4 cup red cinnamon candies
  • 1 (3-oz.) pkg. orange or lemon-flavor gelatin
  • 1/2 cup whipped topping

Preparation

Step 1

Cut "lid" from stem end of each orange; discard lids. With spoon or fingers, scoop and scrape out flesh from each orange to within 1/4 inch of peel, being careful not to puncture peel. Reserve orange flesh for another use. Place orange shells on cookie sheet or tray.

In small saucepan, combine 1 cup of the apple juice and cinnamon candies. Cook over medium-high heat until mixture comes to a boil and candies melt, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add gelatin; stir at least 2 minutes or until completely dissolved. Stir in remaining 1 cup cold apple juice. Pour evenly into orange shells. Refrigerate 4 hours.
