1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 large egg
1/4 cup rolled oats
2–4 tablespoons water (as needed for dough consistency)

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix wet ingredients — In a bowl, combine peanut butter, applesauce, and egg until smooth.
Add dry ingredients — Stir in flour and oats. Add water gradually until a firm dough forms.
Roll and cut — Roll dough to about 1/4-inch thickness and cut into bone shapes using a cookie cutter.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and firm.
Cool completely before serving to your dog.
How To Store
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks for extended freshness.
