Description

Watch as your dog delights in the rich combination of textures and flavors, making these treats a cherished addition to their snack repertoire.

Ingredients - All recipes for a 60 lbs. dog
  • 2 cups diced apples (Remove seeds and core)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups dog-friendly granola (Without raisins, nuts, or added sugar)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Prepare the Apple Mixture

    In a bowl, combine the diced apples, unsweetened applesauce, and ground cinnamon. Mix well.

    Sauté (Optional): For added flavor, you can sauté the apple mixture in a non-stick pan over low heat for 3-5 minutes. Allow it to cool.

  3. Mix with Granola

    In a separate bowl, combine the sautéed or raw apple mixture with dog-friendly granola.

  4. Add the Eggs and Peanut Butter

    Crack two eggs and peanut butter into the mixture and stir until well combined. This helps bind the ingredients.

  5. Form Treats

    Scoop portions of the mixture and shape them into small treats, placing them on the prepared baking sheets.

  6. Bake and Cool

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the treats turn golden brown and have a firm texture.

    Cool: Allow the treats to cool completely on wire racks before serving.

Note

Ensure all ingredients are dog-friendly, free from harmful additives like xylitol, chocolate, or artificial sweeteners.

This batch of homemade treats ensures an ample supply of crunchy and delicious Baked Apple Cinnamon Granola Treats for your furry friend. Adjust portion sizes based on your dog's size and dietary needs, and consult with your veterinarian for personalized dietary recommendations.
