Ingredients:
1 large or 2 small apples
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup oatmeal
1-1/2 cups all-purpose or wheat flour
1/8 cup flour, set aside
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350ºF (325ºF for a convection oven). Core, slice, and mince the apple(s), using a food processor or manual chopper. In a large bowl, combine the minced apple pieces, honey, water, cinnamon, and oatmeal. Gradually blend in the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a stiff dough forms. (I usually mix with a large spoon, until I add the final 1/2 cup of flour, then I knead it by hand.) Place the 1/8 cup of flour into a small bowl. Spoon the dough by rounded teaspoon onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing about two inches apart. Dip the bottom of a glass into the bowl of flour to prevent sticking, and then use it to flatten each spoonful of dough into a circle. Adjust the size of the cookie drops based on the size of the treat you'd like to feed your dog. Bake for 25 minutes. Then remove from oven and flip each cookie over to brown evenly on both sides. Return to oven and bake for another 25 minutes. Let cool for at least four hours or overnight, in order for the cookies to harden to a crunchy consistency.
Makes about three dozen crunchy cookies, depending on how big you make them.
