- 3/4 cup store bought applesauce
- 1 cup cinnamon + more for dusting
- about an 1/8 - cup tacky glue I used Elmer's and I just eye balled it
- Christmas cookie cutters
- a straw to poke a hole
- ribbon to hang
Thoroughly mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl.
If the cinnamon "dough” is too dry, add more applesauce. However, if it is too wet, add more cinnamon.
Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to about 1/8 inch thick (I like to cut them more on the thicker side, so they will last for years but you can do 1/4 inch thickness if you prefer). Cut out shapes by using your favorite cookie cutters.
Poke holes in the ornaments with a straw and place on a foil lined baking sheet. Bake in a 170 degrees oven for 30 minutes. (Oven temps vary so you may need 200 degrees.)
Remove and let air dry for 24 - 48 hours. I flipped mine over after 24 hours and let it to continue to dry.
Add decorations (or leave them beautifully plain like we did). Add ribbon and enjoy it on your Christmas tree.
