Cinnamon Applesauce Ornaments
Recipe- 2 cups of applesauce
- 2 cups of ground cinnamon
You can easily double or triple this recipe depending on how many ornaments you want to make. Just be sure to use equal parts of both ingredients.
- Combine equal parts of applesauce & cinnamon in a large mixing bowl and stir until a dough begins to form.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and knead it with clean, dry hands.
- If the dough is at all sticky add more cinnamon and mix it in. After a bit of mixing and kneading you will have the most amazingly scented cinnamon dough!
Making Cinnamon Ornaments
- Place the cinnamon dough on parchment paper, and roll it out flat but not too thin.
- Then, use cookie cutters to cut holiday shapes from the rolled-out dough.
- Lay the shapes onto a cookie pan. Then, use a straw or toothpick to pierce a hole into each one. This will make the ornaments easy to string once they are done baking.
- Bake the ornaments at 200 degrees for 2 & 1/2 hours. Then, carefully remove them from the oven & allow them to cool.
- Once cool string your ornaments from the tree & enjoy!
