CINNAMON & APPLE SAUCE CRAFT

CINNAMON & APPLE SAUCE ORNAMENTS
We had fun making these and they smelled so yummy when cooking. It was a bit messy though. Both kids had to change their clothes when we were done and they make your hands super dry. I always tend to make things too thin. The thicker ones worked out much better. We had fun painting with paint and glitter glue when they were cooled.

2 cups applesauce
2 cups cinnamon (also used for to put on table/cutting board)
parchment paper (optional)
pencil or straw to make a hole for ribbon
cookie cutters
ribbon

Mix together cinnamon and apple sauce. Lightly sprinkle flat surface with cinnamon to prevent dough from sticking. Knead dough until you have a firm, pasty consistency. Roll out to 3/8" thickness. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters. With a pencil/straw poke a hole at the top of each shape. Bake on baking sheet (I placed them on top of parchment paper) in 150' oven for 3-5 hours. Decorate when dry. Add ribbon for hanging.
