Edible Apple Ornaments

Decorate your parrot’s cage for the holidays with the edible apple ornaments!

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups flour (white or wheat)
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1 apple (grated)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Directions:

    1. Preheat oven to 350°
    2. Wash the apple and grate it into strands.
    3. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined into dough.
    4. Prepare a flat surface and sprinkle with flour to prevent the dough from sticking. Roll the dough to 1/8″ thickness.
    5. Use cookie cutters, a biscuit cutter, or just a knife to cut into squares / shapes. Press firmly.
    ***Optional – If you want to hang these, use a straw to punch out a circle in the top or middle of the cookie before baking! Sisal or thin leather strips work well for hanging them. (These are meant to hang in the cage or playstands, not on the Christmas tree.)
    6. Move cookies onto a foil-covered baking sheet, and bake for 20 minutes. Then, turn the oven OFF and allow cookies to rest in the hot oven for an additional 20 minutes. They will harden as they cool.
