Cinnamon Applesauce Ornaments
Make easy, beautiful cinnamon applesauce ornaments with just TWO ingredients! This holiday craft smells amazing, looks great on the Christmas tree or as a gift topper, and is easy enough for kids and adults to make.
Servings 18 large ornaments
Ingredients
- 2 cups cinnamon
- 2 cups applesauce
- ribbon, baker's twine, or string
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Combine the cinnamon and applesauce in a large bowl. Stir until the mixture forms a ball. If the dough is too wet, add more cinnamon until it's the right consistency.
- Sprinkle cinnamon over the work surface. Place half the dough on the sprinkled cinnamon, the sprinkle more cinnamon over the top. Place a piece of parchment paper over the top and press down with your hand. Use a rolling pin to gently smooth out the dough until it's your desired thickness.
- Use Christmas cookie cutters to cut each shape from the dough. Poke a straw through the top of each ornament to make a hole for the ribbon. Place the shapes on a covered baking sheet. Bake for 2 hours or until the ornaments are firm.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely. You can use a finger, nail file, or sandpaper to smooth the edges if you'd like. Loop a piece of ribbon or twine through the hole in each ornament and tie a knot or a bow. Hang on the Christmas tree, give as a gift, or use as a gift topper for family and friends.
