Different apples do have different levels of pectin, but all apples have
quite a lot and are often used to help other fruit set. Did you include the
peel and cores? (you can soak these in water overnight and add just the
liquid) Rather than adding gelatin, you might look at adding pectin. You can
buy it places where they sell stuff to make jam (jars, lids, rings, covers)
and good delis and food halls. It's powdered like some types of gelatin and
comes with instructions for amounts and so on. A useful backup ingredient!
