Place the cinnamon into a mixing bowl and add the applesauce ¼ cup at a time. Mix together with a spoon until a dough forms. Add a little more cinnamon if the dough is sticky. Use the rolling pin to roll the dough out to ¼ inch thick. Use your cookie cutters to cut out your Cinnamon Applesauce Ornaments. Fit as many as you can on the rolled-out dough. Pull the extra dough away from the cut out ornaments and then lift them onto the cookie sheet with your fingers or a thin spatula. Now is the time to make holes in the top of the ornaments so you can add a ribbon. I used the end of a drinking straw to make the holes in mine. You can let your ornaments air dry on the cookie sheet for about two days or you can place them in a 200-degree oven for several hours (mine were dry in about 2 hours). This depends on your time frame. Turn the ornaments while drying so they remain flat. If you like the look of the plain ornament, go ahead, and tie a ribbon or string in the hole and you are done. But if you are wanting more color, it is also possible to decorate your ornaments with paint or glue on decorations. I chose to use white puff paint to make some of the ornaments look as if they had been decorated with frosting. Let the paint dry and then add a ribbon or string to hang the ornament.
Tip:
Sprinkle some cinnamon on a flat surface and put the dough down on it. You are using the cinnamon like you use flour when rolling out sugar cookies.
Sprinkle a bit more cinnamon on top. This is so it doesn’t stick to the surface or to the rolling pin. I even dust the rolling pin with a bit of cinnamon.
Note: Remember not to eat these ornaments or the dough!! They are not edible.
