Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the applesauce and spices; mix well until a stiff dough forms, adding additional cinnamon, if needed.
On a board dusted with additional cinnamon, roll out each portion of dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into shapes using 1-1/2-inch cookie cutters dipped in cinnamon. Reroll scraps. Place cutouts on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
Using straw or wooden skewer,k make a small hole in the top of each of the ornaments.
Bake at 200F for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove to paper towels to dry thoroughly. When completely dry and cool, string a ribbon strip or piece of thread through each hole; tie the ends together to form a loop.
NOTES: In addition to hanging the ornaments from your Christmas tree, you can use them to decorate miniature potted evergreens. Make another batch of these non-edible decorations and package them up as party favors for your holiday guests.
