Directions
-
Thaw the frozen grape juice concentrate until it is liquid but still cold.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the thawed grape juice concentrate and the chunky apple sauce.

Whisk or stir the mixture vigorously until the apple sauce is fully blended into the juice and no large chunks remain.
-
Divide the mixture evenly among 9 cold drink cups, filling each with about 1/3 cup of the mixture.
-
Place the cups in the freezer for approximately 1 hour, or until the edges begin to freeze and the center is still soft.
-
Insert one wooden stick into the center of each partially frozen pop, ensuring it stands upright.
-
Return the cups to the freezer and freeze until completely firm, for about 2 additional hours or overnight.
-
To serve, run the outside of the drink cups under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the pops, then remove and serve.

Note
Ensure the grape juice concentrate is fully thawed before mixing to ensure a smooth consistency. If it is too thick, add a tablespoon of water to help blend it with the applesauce.
Use chunky applesauce for a pleasant texture, or switch to smooth applesauce for a creamier, uniform pop.
For easier removal, ensure the sticks are inserted while the mixture is partially frozen so they adhere properly.
Store any leftover pops in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one month.
