• 1 cup natural peanut butter (unsalted, xylitol-free)

• 1 large egg

• 1 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour for sensitive stomachs)

• 2–4 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce (as needed for dough texture)

1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter and egg until smooth.

2. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in flour gradually.

3. Adjust Texture: Add applesauce one tablespoon at a time until a soft, rollable dough forms.

4. Roll & Cut: Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness. Use bone-shaped cookie cutters for fun shapes.

5. Preheat Air Fryer: Set to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes.

6. Air Fry: Place treats in a single layer in the basket. Cook for 8–10 minutes until golden brown.

7. Cool Completely: Let treats cool fully before serving — they’ll firm up as they cool.
