Cinnamon Ornaments Recipe

1 cn Cinnamon

1 Jar applesauce

Drain the moisture from the applesauce for 10 or 15 minutes (or longer if necessary) by putting it in a colander or strainer which you ve lined with a coffee filter (or something similar). Pour the whole container of cinammon into a bowl and add just a little applesauce at a time; stir; keep adding but check carefully each time; until you have a VERY STIFF dough. Roll out the dough between two sheets of waxed paper until it s around a quarter inch thick, then cut it with cookie cutters. Make holes in the dough cutouts with drinking straws. Put the cookies in a very low oven (only about 175-200 degrees F) for several hours; watch carefully so they don t burn (if they start to, lower oven). Or you can air-dry them for several days, turning them over carefully each day. When COMPLETELY DRY, put ribbons thru the holes and hang on the tree.
