How to Make Applets And Cotlets Old Fashioned Candy Like Persian Delights

  1. Sprinkle 1 envelope (1 tablespoon) of unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup applesauce in a medium bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes to bloom.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and 1/2 cup applesauce.
  3. Bring the sugar and applesauce mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the gelatin-applesauce mixture and cook for 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and burning. The mixture will thicken.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking pan.
  7. Let the candy stand at room temperature overnight, or until completely set.
  8. Once set, cut the candy into 1-inch squares.
  9. Toss the squares in a paper bag with 1/2 cup powdered sugar until evenly coated.
  10. Serve and enjoy your homemade Persian delights!
