These Cinnamon Applesauce ornaments are made from plain applesauce and ground cinnamon. It’s an easy holiday craft that is fun to do with children. They can be air-dried or dried in the oven. They have a wonderful scent and are beautiful on a Christmas tree or adorn a gift package.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°F (94°C), line a rimmed baking sheet (or 2 if you want to bake all of them at once) with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium-large mixing bowl, add the plain applesauce and then the ground cinnamon and mix until completely combined. On a surface (like a pastry mat), add some ground cinnamon so the dough doesn't stick to the pastry mat. Roll out the dough. If it's sticky add more ground cinnamon. Roll it until it's ¼-inch thick. Cut shapes with cookies cutters (about 3-inch cookie cutters) and transfer to a parchment or silicone baking mat-lined rimmed cookie sheet. Re-roll the dough to maximize the number of ornaments you make. You can chill the dough to make it ahead or to make the dough easier to work with (at least ½ hour). See notes for the air-dry method.
Notes
- Air-Dry Method: Complete the recipe and instead of baking them, air-dry the ornaments on cookie sheets for 3-4 days.
- Tip: Keep a spray bottle handy to moisten the dough, if it gets too dry to work with.
