homemade peanutbutter apple dog treats

making dog biscuits. peanut butter and apple. i had a dog bone shaped cookie cutter. it was 3", maybe 3.5" long.


i chopped up bits of apple nice and small.


as usual i had an audience. a VERY captivated audience. i cant imagine why...


behold the power of peanut butter


rolling the dough out went smoothly.


it was very easy to work with, even with the little apple bits in it.


however i made these as an xmas gift for my brother and sister in laws little dog, which is a brussels griffon. its like maybe 5 pounds or something, so small compared to mine. so even my smallest cookie cutter was kinda too big. so i gathered up the scraps, rolled them out again and used a pizza cutter to make little squares. this dough was so nice to work with.


they puffed up a little bit when baked. both my dogs and their dog love these. i'll make these again.


recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup of flour
1/4 cup oats
1/2 tablepoon of baking powder
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup apple sauce (I used my Homemade)
1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Preheat oven to 350
1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl. If it seems too dry add a tablespoons of water until it is a cookie-dough like consistency. I started using a spoon and switched to mixing with my hand to really make sure everything was incorporated.
2. Sprinkle flour on a surface and roll out to about 1/2 of an inch thick. You can use a cookie cutter, knife or what ever you want to make the desired shape/size of your treats.
3. Place baking paper or a baking mat on a cookie sheet. Place the treats on the sheet leaving a bit of room between them. They won’t expand too much.
4. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before tossing them to the dogs!
