| Recipe 1:
The recipe that I use is
- 1/2 cup ground cinnamon,
- 1/3 cup applesauce, and
- 1 Tbs. Tacky glue
Mix in bowl and stir until well blended. Work mixture in hands for three minutes to form a ball. If it is too dry, add applesauce, if too wet, add more cinnamon. Knead ball on cinnamon-sprinkled surface until it holds togehter well. I roll this out and use cookie cutters for the shapes. I also use
a drinking straw to cut a hanging hole. These can be air dried for 24 to 48 hours. Turn several times. They can also be baked in a slow oven.
Recipe 2:
- 1 lb. powdered cinnamon
- 3/4 c. applesauce
- 1/8 c. orris root powder (optional)
- 1/8 oz. apple fragrance (optional)
Add scent to the orris root and mix well. Combine with the cinnamon powder and add the applesauce. Add a tiny bit of apple cider if it's too dry, or more cinnamon if too wet. Roll out no thinner than 1/4" and cut out shapes. Use a straw to cut a hole at the top if making a hanging ornament. Dry
in a dehydrator or air-dry. Let dry thoroughly and sand the rough edges with a fingernail file and paint with fabric paints.
Recipe 3:
- 1-4 oz. can of cinnamon
- 1 T. cloves
- 1 T. nutmeg
- 3/4 cup applesauce
- 2 T. white glue
Mix dry ingredients and add to wet ingredients Mix thoroughly. Roll out and cut shapes. Let dry several days, turning over frequently. Do not eat!!!
Recipe 4:
- 1 c. cinnamon
- 1 t. nutmeg
- 1 t. allspice
- 1 t. ground cloves

Recipe 5:
- 1 Cup Cinnamon
- 1T Cloves
- 1T Nutmeg
- 3/4 C Applesauce
- 2T White glue
combine cinnamon, cloves & nutmeg. Add applesauce & glue, stir to combine, work mixture with hands for 2-3 minutes. Divide into 4 parts. Roll each to 1/4" thickness. Use straw or toothpick for hole. Place on wire rack & allow to dry at room temp. Turn after a day. (takes about 2 days to dry). I
use white fabric paint to decorate, looks like frosting.
