Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour (or oat flour for a gentler option)

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

  • ¼ cup water (as needed for dough consistency)

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the applesauce and egg until smooth.

  3. Stir in the flour and cinnamon. Mix until a dough forms. Add water gradually if the dough feels too dry.

  4. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness.

  5. Use bone-shaped cookie cutters and place the treats on your prepared baking sheet.

  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the treats are golden brown and firm.

  7. Allow them to cool completely before serving.

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.

  • Freeze in a sealed container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

Serving Sizes

  • Small dogs: ½ to 1 treat per day

  • Medium dogs: 1–2 treats per day

  • Large dogs: 2–3 treats per day

Always adjust based on your dog’s size, activity level, and overall diet.
