3 Ingredient Cinnamon Ornaments I made these last year and we loved them. Simple and easy. Ingredients 1 cup applesauce 1-1 1/4 cup (130 grams) ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon ground cloves (optional) (Cinnamon, Clove, Orange, Christmas Spirit, Thieves any of these essential oils are great on the ornaments also. Just add a drop or two to each ornament after they cool.) Instructions 1.Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. 2.In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the applesauce, cinnamon, and cloves (if using). It may take a few minutes for the mixture to come together. You want the dough to be able to form a ball without being too sticky. Add additional applesauce or cinnamon if needed. You can mix the dough by hand, it may just take longer. 3.Sprinkle a clean surface with cinnamon (like you would with flour while rolling out pie dough). Place the dough on the surface and sprinkle with more cinnamon. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough to 1/4 inch thick, sprinkling with more cinnamon to keep from sticking. 4.Cut out into desired shapes and place on the prepared sheet pan so that they arent touching. Use a skewer to poke a hole into each ornament (to attach string). Bake in the preheated oven for 1 1/2 - 2 hours or until rock hard. 5.Loop a decorative string through the ornament and hang on your tree. Notes: Ornaments may also be dried at room temperature over several days. Ornaments are not extremely fragile, but they can break. Handle with care. Do not eat.
