In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin and cinnamon candies in the boiling water.  (If needed to dissolve the candies quicker, place bowl in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes.)  The cinnamon candies may not dissolve completely. Remove excess candy with a spoon.  Stir in applesauce.  Pour into a 8-inch container.  Refrigerate until firm.   Serve as a side with a white meat like pork, chicken or turkey; or eat as a dessert with a dollop of whipped cream or topping.
