Kids love to see their creations hanging on the Christmas tree. Now you can help them make Cinnamon Applesauce Christmas Ornaments for your tree. Not only will you have a blast, it can be a Christmas Ornament tradition for years to come.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 Lg jar applesauce
• 3 c. cinnamon
• cookie cutters
• waxed paper
• rolling pin
• toothpicks
• icing, (optional)

1. 
   Applesauce and Cinnamon Mixture

   Mix 1 large jar of applesauce with 3 c. cinnamon. Stir completely until thick. If mixture seems a little runny, add a little more cinnamon to thicken it up.

2. 
   Roll applesauce and cinnamon flat

   Lay applesauce and cinnamon mixture on waxed paper and cover with another sheet of waxed paper. Use a rolling pin to press dough out to 2/3 in. thick.

3. 
   Any shape and size is good!

   After applesauce and cinnamon is pressed out, use the cookie cutters to cut dough into shapes on the waxed paper. Remove access dough from around the ornaments and discard.

4. 

   Use toothpicks to create the hole to put the string through to hang the ornament on the tree. Apply icing for decoration if you choose.

5. Allow to dry on waxed paper for 24 hrs. Turn a couple of times throughout the drying time to allow to dry evenly.

6. 

   Enjoy and hang your new applesauce and cinnamon ornaments on the Christmas tree.

on 12/21/2008 Never heard of this but it sounds like great fun. I'll have to hang them high, though, since I suspect my dog would love them, too!
