Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup applesauce
  • 1 ½ cups ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Mix Dough: Combine the applesauce and ground cinnamon in a bowl until a thick dough forms, ensuring the cinnamon is fully incorporated.
  2. Roll Dough: Dust a clean surface with extra cinnamon to prevent sticking, then roll the dough out to approximately ¼ inch thickness using a rolling pin.
  3. Cut Shapes: Using a cookie cutter or knife, cut triangle shapes from the dough to form the base of the ornaments.
  4. Bake Dough: Place the cut pieces on a baking sheet and bake them in an oven preheated to 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 ½ hours, allowing them to dry and harden without browning.
  5. Cool and Decorate: Once completely cool, paint tree shapes on the ornaments using white paint to add a festive look.
  6. Add Hangings: Attach a loop of baker’s twine to the back of each ornament to enable hanging on a tree or elsewhere.

Notes

  • Ensure the dough is thick enough to hold shape; if too sticky, add a little more cinnamon.
  • Bake at low heat to dry the ornaments without browning or cooking them thoroughly.
  • Allow ornaments to fully cool before painting to avoid cracking or smudging paint.
  • Store finished ornaments in a cool, dry place to preserve their shape and scent.
