Applesauce Gel Squares (10mos and up)

In a small bowl, mix cinnamon into applesauce and set aside. Pour 1 cup cold apple juice in 8x8 pan and sprinkle gelatin on top. Heat remaining 1 cup of
apple juice in the microwave for 3 minutes or until boiling. Stir boiling juice into the gelatin and cold apple juice. Stir in applesauce.
Refrigerate for 1/2 hour and then stir to keep applesauce evenly distributed. If you omit this step the applesauce settles to the bottom, but it still tastes great! Refrigerate for an additional 2 1/2 hours or until
firm. Cut into squares with a knife, or use cookie cutters to cut into shapes, and serve.

Good for older babies who are just leaving baby food behind but haven't
mastered the use of spoons.
