1 lb jar sweetened applesauce
8 oz cinnamonDrain jar of SWEETENED applesauce overnight (you will be amazed at how much water seeps out!!) Add 8 ounces of cinnamon to this and mix together well. Pat into a ball, press hard to solidify and mix. Then pat out in 1 cup units onto wax paper, push to 1/4" thickness (although many of my girls did 1/2 " or so) and cut with cookie cutters. I had purchased plastic heart shapes 3 for $1.... Dry on wax paper. Oh - poke a hole in the top with toothpick (I used a chopstick!). Turn over and dry in a warm place for several days. Then hang a ribbon through the hole, use as a decoration or a kind of sachet. I used about 5# applesauce - and 40 ounces of cinnamon - way too much for 14 girls and they each made about 3 - probably had 1/2 left over. They had a wonderful time kneading and mixing it - really gushing it with their hands!!!! Some of the girls told of decorating them with puffy paints. They are definitely NOT edible.
