Dear Kandis: I need rescuing. I have misplaced my only copy of a favorite salad, Cinnamon Swirl Salad. Ingredients, as I remember, are lemon Jell-O, applesauce, cream cheese and red-hot cinnamon candies. Thank you for your help. - Maxine H., Liberty Lake

Dear Maxine: I found a recipe that has the same ingedients, including either grated apples or applesauce. If you use grated apples you get a slightly different texture. I hope it works for you.

Cinnamon Salad

From Family Classics Cookbook

1 large package lemon Jell-O

3/4 cup hot cinnamon candies (red hots)

3-1/2 cups boiling water

3 grated apples or 1 cup applesauce

1/2 pint whipping cream, whipped

2 small packages cream cheese

Dissolve Jell-O and candies in boiling water. When cool, add grated apples or applesauce. Mix whipping cream and cream cheese until smooth. When Jell-O mixture is slightly set, add whipping cream and cream cheese. This cream mixture can be folded into the JellO mix or you can layer the cream mixture with the Jell-O. This makes a 9- by 13-inch salad.
