Cherry Apple Jello Salad

I have had this Cherry Apple Jello Salad recipe from the time I got married. If you haven’t heard, Salt Lake City, Utah has earned the dubious distinction of having the highest per capita consumption of Jell-O not only in the US, but in the whole world. It is also the state snack for Utah. I know, it’s a little weird to have a State snack.
With those two factors it’s no surprise that this Utah girl is sharing another Jello recipe. This recipe makes a very large jello salad. I also just cut up my apples and then grate then in my food processor for this recipe. Skins are left on the apples when I make this, but you could remove the skin if you prefer to. This is one of my favorite jello salads and we always say there is always room for jello!
