Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce and egg until smooth.
- Add the ground cinnamon and stir to combine.
- Add the whole wheat flour about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms.
- Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn the dough out onto it.
- Roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness using a rolling pin.
- Cut out shapes with a small cookie cutter or slice into bite-size squares with a knife.
- Arrange the cut biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuits are firm and lightly golden on the edges.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the biscuits cool completely on a wire rack before serving to your dog.
Notes
- Use only plain, unsweetened applesauce with no added sugar or xylitol.
- Cool biscuits completely before storing to prevent moisture and mold.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- For smaller dogs, cut the dough into smaller shapes for easier chewing.
- Always introduce new treats gradually and adjust your dog’s regular food to account for extra calories.
