Apple Cinnamon Canine Crunchies

"I make these for my dog babies, and they LOVE them!  They seem to know that what I'm baking is for them because they sit in front of the oven and wait for them!"

1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup of honey
1/2 cup of water
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1 cup of quick cooking oats
1/2 tsp of cinnamon
2 tbsps of sugar (you may leave it out if desired)
1 1/2 cups of wheat flour (you may substitue all-purpose flour)




     Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  In a medium bowl, mix together the applesauce, honey, water, and vanilla.  Set aside.  In a large bowl, add the oats.  Then sift together the cinnamon, sugar, and flour and add to the oats.  Mix together.  Add the applesauce mixture to the flour mixture and stir until incorporated.  On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 in. thick.  Using a cookie cutter, cut out various shapes.  Re-roll the dough and continue cutting out shapes.  Place on a non-stick cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.  Then, flip the treats over and bake for 10-12 more minutes.  Remove from the cookie sheet to a cooling rack or wax paper.  Let cool completely.  Then, watch your dog babies go crazy!
