Homemade Cinnamon Ornaments
These easy homemade ornaments for your Christmas tree will make your house smell like cinnamon!
Ingredients
- 1 cup applesauce
- 1-1 ¼ cup 130 grams ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon ground cloves optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the applesauce, 1 cup cinnamon, and cloves (if using). You want the dough to be able to form a ball without being too sticky. Add additional applesauce or cinnamon if needed. You can also mix the dough by hand.
- Sprinkle a clean surface with cinnamon (like you would with flour while rolling out cookies). Place the dough on the surface and sprinkle with more cinnamon. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough to ¼ inch thick, sprinkling with more cinnamon to keep from sticking.
- Cut out into desired shapes and place on the prepared sheet pan so that they aren't touching. Use a skewer to poke a hole into each ornament (to attach string). Bake in the preheated oven for 1 ½ - 2 hours or until rock hard.
- Loop a decorative string through the ornament and hang on your tree.
