Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pour the apple juice into a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Bring the juice to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for approximately 10 minutes to slightly reduce the liquid and concentrate the flavor.
  4. Carefully pour the hot juice mixture into prepared molds or a shallow baking dish lined with parchment paper.
  5. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chews are firm and set.
  7. Remove from molds or cut into squares; dust lightly with cornstarch if needed to prevent sticking.
