Cinnamon Pomanders - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. powdered cinnamon
1 to 1 1/2 c. smooth applesauce
2 Tbsp. oil

Preparation

Spray vegetable oil on mold or cookie cutter.
Mix cinnamon, 1 cup applesauce and oil.
Knead in more applesauce if needed, a little at a time, until mixture is very stiff \"clay.\"
(It should not be sticky.)
For mold, spray lightly (remove any excess with paper towel).
Dust cinnamon into mold and onto fingers and press a piece of \"clay\" into mold.
Even out back of clay, then tap mold against cutting board or hand.
Peel out clay; place on cookie sheet, then trim any rough edges with sharp knife.
If a hole is needed, use a small straw to cut it.
Bake 1 hour (until firm), then another hour on wire rack.
Drying needs to be slow to prevent cracking.
For cookie cutter, roll out and cut as you would cookies.
