Ingredients
  

Gummy Base
  • 1 cup apple juice Divided into two 1/2 cup portions
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
  • 1 tablespoon psyllium husk fiber
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice Optional, for brightness

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Lightly grease a small glass dish or line it with parchment paper. This makes the gummies easier to remove after chilling.
  2. Pour ½ cup of the apple juice into a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the top. Let it sit for 5 minutes, until it thickens and looks spongy.
  3. In a small saucepan, heat the remaining ½ cup apple juice over low heat. Do not boil it.
  4. Stir in the honey until fully dissolved.
  5. Add the bloomed gelatin mixture to the warm juice. Whisk gently until completely smooth.
  6. Slowly sprinkle in the psyllium husk while whisking constantly. Stir for 30–60 seconds, just until evenly mixed. The mixture will begin to thicken quickly.
  7. Immediately pour the mixture into the prepared glass dish. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
  8. Refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until firm.
  9. Remove from the dish and cut into small gummy cubes. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Apple-Honey Fiber Gummies Tips & Expert Strategy

TEXTURE EXPECTATIONS: These will be softer and slightly denser than commercial gummy bears due to the psyllium husk fiber. They should chew easily without being rubbery.
GELATIN WARNING: Do not swap the unflavored gelatin for collagen peptides. Collagen will not gel, and you will be left with a watery fruit syrup.
THE CLUMPING EFFECT: Psyllium husk is highly hydrophilic. You must sprinkle it slowly while whisking continuously. If you dump it in all at once, you will have dry, unappetizing clumps in your gummies.
STORAGE MANDATE: Because this recipe uses no artificial stabilizers or waxes, these gummies must be kept cold. If left at room temperature for an extended time, the gelatin structure will soften and melt.
