Ingredients

  • 1 cup cinnamon
  • ¾ cup applesauce
  • 2 tsp. nutmeg
  • 2 tsp. ground cloves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients, mixing until well combined and a dough begins to form.
  4. Sprinkle your surface with extra cinnamon to avoid sticking, empty dough mixture onto the surface and knead the dough, then roll it into a ball.
  5. Roll out your dough flat, about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Using your Christmas cookie cutters, cut out cinnamon shapes and lay them onto the parchment paper.
  7. Using a drinking straw, poke a hole in the ornament where you want the string to go through.
  8. Leave a little bit of space as a buffer so the ornament does not break.
  9. Bake your applesauce cinnamon ornaments in the oven for 2 hours.
  10. Let your applesauce cinnamon ornaments cool, add some ribbon or twine to your ornament and hang.
