3 Ingredient Applesauce Jello Salad

I like to serve applesauce jello salad up with a bit of whipped topping a fresh strawberry to make it pretty! Doesn’t that look good, y’all?

Applesauce Salad Recipe

Here’s what you’ll need to make this easy applesauce jello salad with 7up:

• Apple Sauce
• Strawberry Gelatin
• 7UP

How to prepare Applesauce Salad

Begin by adding the apple sauce to a small saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium heat.

Strawberry Applesauce Salad

Next, add the strawberry gelatin to the hot applesauce and stir to combine.

Fizzy 7UP Applesauce Salad

Then, add the 7up carbonated beverage and stir to combine. If you’ve made Jell-O before then you see how the 7up is taking the place of the cold water in making this gelatin salad.

Then into the Fridge to Chill

I’ve tried this applesauce salad in a mold before and it just doesn’t work well for me. It doesn’t set up quite like plain gelatin with the applesauce.

I recommend transferring the applesauce jello to a pretty bowl, or dish you like. I’m using my great-grandmother’s crystal bowl here.

Serve this Classic Applesauce Salad Dessert

Refrigerate the applesauce salad until firm and set, four to six hours. I left mine in the fridge overnight.

What to serve with Applesauce Salad

Serve your applesauce salad with whipped cream, fresh strawberries, or all on its own for a wonderful sweet treat.

Old fashioned applesauce salad gelatin dessert is perfect with family meals or your holiday Thanksgiving dinner. Since, we’re calling it a salad (wink), you could even serve it up as a side and nobody would even question it.
