Cinnamon applesauce ornaments are the perfect activity to make with kids over the holiday season. We have made these several times around here and loved them! They also hold up really well and add an amazing aroma to your Christmas tree. So, if you have an afternoon with the kids between now and Christmas, be sure to whip up a batch of cinnamon ornaments!

Ingredients

¾ cup applesauce
1 ¼ cup ground cinnamon
Waxed paper
Cookie cutters
Straw or bamboo skewer
Ribbon for hanging

How to Make Cinnamon Ornaments

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix together applesauce and cinnamon to form a clay-like dough.

Roll out dough between sheets of waxed paper to about ½ inch thick. Cut using cookie cutters. Using a straw or bamboo skewer, create a hole for hanging the ornament. Transfer ornaments to a baking sheet. Bake for 2 ½ hours. Remove from oven and place ornaments in a cooling rack.

Allow ornaments to dry on the cooling rack for 24 to 48 hours, turning occasionally. Add a ribbon to ornaments for hanging or to attach to packages.

These are so easy to make and one recipe for these cinnamon applesauce ornaments will make a bunch. You can make these in any shape that you like. You can even add designs to your ornaments with tools before baking.

These also make a great holiday tradition. Get the kids together and make a batch of these every year. Your home will smell amazing and they will love adding their own personal ornaments to the tree year after year.

You can also keep these and use them year after year. The ornaments hold up great and even hold some of their fragrance. Although, the aroma will fade over the years.
