In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the cranberry-flavored gelatin mix in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir thoroughly until the gelatin is completely dissolved (about 2 minutes).
Add 1.5 cups of cold water and 0.5 cups of cranberry juice to the bowl. Stir until fully combined.
Gently fold in the canned whole cranberry sauce, breaking it up with a fork or spoon to disperse it evenly throughout the mixture.
Add the drained crushed pineapple, chopped apples, and chopped pecans or walnuts (if using). Stir until the mixture is well mixed and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into a decorative serving dish, such as a glass trifle bowl or a festive mold.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, optionally garnish with whipped cream or fresh cranberries before serving.
Serve chilled and enjoy this festive treat!
