Non-Edible Cinnamon Ornaments recipe

1 servings

1 cup ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon ground cloves

1 tablespoon ground nutmeg

3/4 cup applesauce

2 tablespoons glue

In a medium bowl, stir together the cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.

Mix in the applesauce and glue.

Work the mixture with your hands 2 to 3 minutes to form a ball.

If mixture is too wet, add more cinnamon.

If mixture is too dry, add more applesauce.

Lightly dust a clean surface with cinnamon.

Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness.

Cut out shapes with cookie cutters, and use a toothpick to make a hole at the top for hanging with a ribbon.

Dry in a slow oven 200 degrees F (100 degrees C) for several hours, or air dry in a sunny spot for 4 or 5 days.

When dry, decorate with gingham and/ or ribbon.
