Coconut Free Apple-Ginger Collagen Gummies
These little gummies pack a genuinely impressive flavor punch — bright apple, warming ginger, and a whisper of Ceylon cinnamon come together in a snack that feels almost like a treat but is built on seriously clean ingredients. Many store-bought gummies and collagen supplements sneak in coconut-derived additives or coconut sugar, so making your own is the smartest way to stay clear of that without sacrificing anything. The base here is simply pure apple juice and grass-fed beef gelatin, so every ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify. Fresh grated ginger gives them a lively, slightly spicy edge that makes them taste far more sophisticated than your average homemade gummy. The blooming technique — letting the gelatin soak into the juice before warming — is the key step that guarantees a smooth, perfectly set texture every single time. Whether you press them into a silicone mold for cute shapes or just cut them into squares from a baking dish, they firm up beautifully in the fridge and pop out clean. Keep a batch stashed in an airtight container and you've got a fridge-ready snack that's as satisfying to grab as it is to make.

4 servings
- 2 cups fresh or 100% pure apple juice, unsweetened
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
- ¼ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
- 1 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp unflavored grass-fed beef gelatin powder
Instructions
- 1
Pour 1 cup of the apple juice into the small saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the surface. Let it sit undisturbed for 3–5 minutes until the gelatin has absorbed the juice and the surface looks matte and slightly wrinkled — this is the bloom step and ensures the gelatin dissolves smoothly.

Add the remaining 1 cup of apple juice, the grated ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, and honey to the saucepan. Warm over medium-low heat, whisking gently, until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth and steaming — about 3–4 minutes. Do not let it boil.
