  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup water (or as needed)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)

Instructions

  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, applesauce, chopped apple, egg, ground cinnamon, and honey if using. Mix well until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add water a little at a time until it’s workable.
  3. Roll and Cut: On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut into desired shapes.
  4. Bake: Place the cut-outs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crunchy.
  5. Cool: Allow the treats to cool on a wire rack before serving them to your dog. Store in an airtight container.
