Apple Cinnamon Ornaments

I found a slightly-expired jar of applesauce while I was cleaning out my pantry last weekend.  And then I found a recipe for Apple Cinnamon Dough (scroll down on that page).

If you don't count the glue, this could be delicious!

The kids had fun helping me measure and mix – there was a cloud of cinnamon floating about our heads the entire time.  The kitchen might never smell normal again!

Thick apple cinnamon dough.

We rolled it out and cut it with apple cookie cutters…and other fall shapes.

Roll it...
...and cut it...
...and poke it with a pencil...

The instructions said to leave them someplace to dry for days.  We’re not that patient, so I set the oven to 200F and put the ornaments on parchment paper-lined cookie sheets.  After 10 minutes, I flipped them over and baked them for another 10 minutes.

Oodles of ornaments!

They aren’t quite completely dried out, but they’re pretty close!  And they smell wonderful.  We might paint or otherwise decorate these later this week, but with a pretty ribbon strung through the holes they’d also be lovely and sweet smelling just as they are.
