Sesame 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, bite-sized form. Fresh ginger and Ceylon cinnamon give them a warm, spiced edge that balances beautifully against the natural sweetness of pure apple juice and a touch of honey. The bloom-and-warm method ensures the gelatin dissolves completely, so you end up with a smooth, springy texture rather than anything grainy or uneven. Store-bought gummies and collagen snacks can be a minefield of hidden additives and shared-facility warnings, but this recipe keeps things clean with just a handful of straightforward ingredients. Straining out the ginger fibers before pouring into the mold is a small step that makes a big difference — the finished gummies are silky and polished, not stringy. They set up firm enough to pop right out of a silicone mold and hold their shape well, making them easy to batch-prep and grab from the fridge all week long.

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.
