1. 1
   Mix the applesauce, the unflavored gelatin, the fruit flavored gelatin, sugar and lemon juice; heat to boiling and boil 1 minute, stirring frequently.
2. 2
   Fill loaf pan halfway to the top with cold water.
3. 3
   Pour out the water, then immediately pour the gelatin mixture into the wet pan, using rubber scraper to clean the side of the saucepan.
4. 4
   When the loaf pan is cool enough to touch, refrigerate about 3 hours or until candy is firm.
5. 5
   Cut the candy into 1 inch squares (dip the knife in a glass of water to keep the candy from sticking).
6. 6
   Lift each square from the pan onto ungreased cookie sheet.

   Let stand at least 8 hours to dry. After candy has dried, place some sugar in bowl, then roll each square in the sugar until all sides are coated.
