Apple Cinnamon Drops |
1 large apple
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup of water
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 cup oatmeal
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/8 cup whole wheat flour |
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 ° F (180 ° C).
Core, slice and mince the apple (use a food processor
if you have one). In a large bowl, combine the minced apple bits, honey,
water, cinnamon, and oatmeal. Gradually blend in the wheat flour, adding
enough to form a stiff dough.
In a small bowl, add 1/8 cup wheat flour. Spoon the dough
by rounded teaspoon onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches
(5cm) apart. Using the bottom of a glass dipped in the wheat flour (to
prevent sticking), flatten each spoonful of dough into a circle. Adjust
the size of the drops based on how big a treat you like to feed your dog.
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and flip each cookie
to brown evenly on both sides. Reduce oven temperature to 325 ° F (180
°C). Return to oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes. Let cool
overnight.
Makes about 3 dozen crunchy cookies, depending on how
big you make them.
