Easy & Fun to Make Homemade Ornaments!
These cute and fragrant ornaments are fun to make – great activity for the kids or grandkids! I buy the big applesauce and cinnamon containers at my club store or dollar store. I figured out the trick to rolling them out nicely. I’ve included all my tips in the recipe below.
This is a larger batch version of the McCormick recipe I found. This is a no glue version, the recipe only uses applesauce and cinnamon – I have seen some recipes that also include glue. But these worked well and dried out nicely – and they smell like the holidays!
Cinnamon Applesauce Ornaments

Servings: 20 (approx.) ornaments
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups applesauce I used unsweetened
- 2 ¼ cups cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper
- Note: I mixed mine in my stand mixer with a flex edge beater. But you can mix together by hand.
- Mix together applesauce and cinnamon to form dough and let rest 30 min.
- Lay a large piece of parchment paper on your counter, place about half the dough down. Lay a piece of plastic wrap over top and roll the dough to about a 1/4" thickness.
- Cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Re-roll the scraps of dough.
- Use a very thin spatula to carefully move the shapes to your lined baking sheet.
- Poke a hole with a straw or skewer.
- Bake 200 degrees for 2 hours, turn over once during baking. Leave in oven once turned off until fully dry. (Or can let air dry on a cooking rack)
