What Do I need to make Homemade Cinnamon and Applesauce Ornaments
The first thing is you are going to need a LOT of cinnamon in these. The cinnamon provides the binding agent and once baked it will harden with the applesauce and create the Christmas ornament for the tree.
The applesauce needs to be of a smooth puree consistency without lumps. You can use homemade applesauce, but make sure that it is really smooth before you start to mix.
And that’s all the ingredients that you need!
