Apple Pie Dog Biscuits

Apple Pie Dog Biscuits

3 cups whole-wheat flour
1 cup rye flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup shredded apple
1 1/3 cups water
2 tablespoons oil

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

In a large bowl, whisk together flours, cornmeal, cinnamon, cardamom and ginger.

In a small bowl, whisk together applesauce, shredded apple, water and oil. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir together until a dough forms. Scoop out onto a lightly floured surface and knead, adding as much additional whole wheat flour as needed, to make a dough that is smooth and not sticky.

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/4" thick. Cut out as many treats as you can, re-rolling the dough as necessary. Place onto parchment-lined baking sheets and bake until firm, about 35 to 45 minutes. Remove and transfer the treats to a wire rack to cool completely.

Makes several dozen depending on size of cutters used.
