- 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) grated apple (seeds removed)
Flavor Enhancer:

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to a moderate temperature of 350°F, preparing a baking sheet with a protective parchment paper lining.
- Gather a spacious mixing vessel and thoroughly blend rolled oats, smooth applesauce, freshly grated apple, aromatic cinnamon, and a single egg until the ingredients create a uniform mixture.
- Utilize a spoon or compact cookie scoop to craft petite, uniform spherical treats, carefully positioning each morsel onto the prepared baking surface.

- Remove the tray from the oven and permit the homemade canine snacks to cool entirely to room temperature, ensuring maximum safety and optimal texture before presenting them to your furry companion.
Notes
- Select rolled oats carefully to ensure they are free from added sugars or artificial ingredients that might harm dogs.
- Use organic, unsweetened applesauce to avoid unnecessary additives or sweeteners that could be unhealthy for pets.
- Grate fresh apples with skin on for maximum nutritional benefits, providing extra fiber and vitamins for your furry friend.
- Sprinkle a pinch of extra cinnamon for potential anti-inflammatory benefits and to enhance flavor without overwhelming the treat.
