Ingredients
1 cup applesauceApproximately 3/4 cup ground cinnamon2 tablespoons ground cloves1 tablespoon ground nutmeg1 tablespoon ground allspiceRibbonRoyal icing and edible glitter
Preparation
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 4-in. snowflake-shaped cookie cutters dipped in cinnamon. Reroll scraps. Place cutouts on parchment-lined baking sheets. Make a hole with a plastic straw about 1/2 in. from the top of each ornament.
Bake at 200° for 20-30 minutes. Remove to paper towels to dry thoroughly. When completely dry and cool, string a ribbon strip through each hole; tie the ends together to form a loop. Decorate ornaments as desired with royal icing and glitter.
