Mix in bowl and stir until well blended. Work mixture in hands for three minutes to form a ball. If it is too dry, add applesauce, if too wet, add more cinnamon.
Knead ball on cinnamon-sprinkled surface until it
holds together well.
I roll this out and use cookie cutters for
the shapes. I also use a drinking straw to cut a hanging hole.
These can be air dried for 24 to 48 hours.
Turn several times.
They can also be baked in a slow oven.
Recipe 2:
1 lb. powdered cinnamon
3/4 c. applesauce
1/8 c. orris root powder (optional)

Add scent to the orris root and mix well. Combine with the cinnamon powder and add the applesauce. Add a tiny bit of apple cider if it's too dry, or more cinnamon if too wet.
Roll out no thinner than 1/4" and cut out shapes. Use a straw to cut a hole at the top if making a
hanging ornament.
Dry in a dehydrator or air-dry. Let dry thoroughly and sand the rough edges with a fingernail file and paint with fabric paints. Recipe 3:
