Cinnamon-Applesauce Ornaments

Non-edible, but forever fragrant!
(I first made these some 13+ years ago, and they still smell great!)

2 cups ground cinnamon (buy in bulk)
1-1 1/2 cups applesauce


In a bowl mix and then kneed the above indigents to form a stiff dough. Adjust the amount of applesauce as needed. Roll out the dough, to about 1/4 inch thickness, between two sheets of plastic wrap. Remove top layer of plastic wrap and use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out shapes. Use a toothpick, or straw, to create a hole at the top of the ornament for the ribbon. Arrange the ornaments on a newspaper lined drying racks, and allow drying for a few days. When completely dry, use a finger nail file to file off the rough edges. Decorate by gluing dried flowers, metallic thread, ribbon, etc., if you choose. Thread a ribbon through the hole at the top, and it is ready to hang.
