Peanut Free Apple-Ginger Collagen Gummies
These little gummies are a genuinely fun way to sneak some gut-supporting collagen into your day, and they taste like a cozy autumn drink in chewy form. Fresh ginger and Ceylon cinnamon give the apple juice base a warm, slightly spicy depth that makes each bite feel way more interesting than your average store-bought gummy. The bloom step — letting the gelatin soak into the juice before heating — is the quiet secret behind that perfectly smooth, springy texture. Because the whole recipe relies on simple, whole-food ingredients like honey, fresh ginger, and grass-fed beef gelatin, you can skip the label-reading anxiety that comes with packaged gummy snacks, which often share facilities or lines with peanut-containing products. Straining out the ginger fibers before pouring into the mold keeps the texture clean and glossy, so they look as good as they taste. Kids love them, adults love them, and they store beautifully in the fridge for easy snacking all week long.

4 servings
- 2 cups fresh juice 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.
