Baked Glazed Apple Treats - Limited Ingredients


     We recently acquired a third dog, fostering, and the amount of treats we're going through is crazy! I only purchase treats and food that are wheat and corn free due to Maeby's food allergies, which can get pricey, so I decided to make some treats again. I wanted to do something more simple and less messy than the usual process. I then thought of apples; my dogs love apples! They're relatively cheap and very healthy. So, this is the concoction that resulted:

Baked Glazed Apple Treats

Ingredients:
3 Apples, of any variety
3 TBSP honey
1/2 tsp Cinnamon



Preheat the oven to 275.
Clean and dry the apples (leaving the skins on provides extra fiber). Chop off the tops and bottoms, since they will be too thick for the desired result. Slice the apples horizontally as thin as possible, approximately 12 slices per apple, removing seeds.





Place the apple slices on cookie sheets lined with wax or parchment paper. HINT: Spray the cookie sheets with oil before applying wax paper, as the honey will cause the paper to stick to the pan. 

Combine the honey and cinnamon in a small bowl and microwave x 30 seconds. Now, spoon or brush small amounts onto each apple. If the honey starts to become too thick to spread, reheat in the microwave at 10 second increments. 




Place the cookie sheets in the oven for 2 hours, flipping the apples every 30 minutes.
Apples should be crispy around the edges and dehydrated. Let cool before serving. 
Store in airtight container and refrigerate.
