Homemade Apple Dog Treats

We go though dog treats like nothing around here.  There is usually always a jar of treats either on the counter or in the fridge.  All of the recipes I have tried had peanut butter in them, so I was super excited to try some without it.  You can find the original recipe HERE.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1/2 cup cornmeal

1 finely chopped or grated apple

1 beaten egg

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup cold water

1. Blend flour and cornmeal in large mixing bowl, then incorporate apple, egg, oil, brown sugar, and water until well blended. 
2. Flour your work space and roll out dough to desired thickness. Mine was just under 1 inch thick and uneven in some spots (we'll call that homemade flair)...
3. Cut cookies to desired shape and size 
4. Place dog cookies on baking sheet and bake 35 minutes. After baking, turn oven off and leave cookies inside for another 30-45 minutes until crisp.    

I made another batch with a scoop of peanut butter and some oatmeal too.  The dogs love them both! The only other thing I changed was I left out the sugar.  I figured the apple would be sweet enough for my guys.  

Do you have dogs at home? Have you ever made homemade treats for them?  You should, they will love you even more for it!
