Ingredients

• 1 cup ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup ground cloves
• 1 cup applesauce (plus possibly up to 1 more tablespoon if needed)
• parchment paper
• cookie cutters
• straw
• ribbon/string/bakers twine

Directions

• Preheat oven to 250°F. Line a large baking sheet with a Pampered Chef Silicone Baking Mat (or parchment paper). Set aside.In a Pampered Chef Classic Batter Bowl (or a large bowl), mix together the applesauce, cloves and one cup of the cinnamon. Mix well with a spatula and press your dough into a ball. If your dough is still dry and crumbly, add 1 tablespoon of extra applesauce till it reaches a good consistency to roll out for cutting into shapes.On a piece of parchment paper, spread some cinnamon and begin to roll the dough out to about 1/4″ thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out your shapes and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.Use the end of a straw to create holes in the upper part of the shape. Bake for 1 hour, flipping half way through. Then turn off oven and let the ornaments cool completely before taking out of oven. (This took about an hour in my oven.)Tie your ribbon, string or bakers twine to each ornament and hang on your tree!
