Cinnamon Spice Craft Dough
• 1 cup apple sauce
• 1 cup cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon cloves
Mix until the dough has the consistency of playdough, adding more apple sauce or cinnamon as needed. (Incidentally, I buy cinnamon at the dollar store for $1/ bottle.) Roll flat, dusting countertop and rolling pin with cinnamon if dough sticks. Cut out shapes with knife or cookie cutter. Use a toothpick to make a hole for hanging. Dry at room temperature for 5-7 days, turning over at the end of the third day to ensure even drying. They dry even quicker in a food dryer, and give your house a wonderful smell!

You can buy a whole bottle of cinnamon at walmart for .50. And if you add a little bit of white glue to the dough, it helps it keep from crumbling.

I made some last year, and forgot about the leftovers. Is there any way to re-use the scraps?

When I’ve made this dough, there aren’t leftovers. The kids just kneaded scraps into each other and then created more ornaments until all was used up.
