Pumpkin Apple Dog Snacks

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pumpkin Apple Dog Snacks.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper—this will help your treats bake evenly and make cleanup a breeze.

2. Step 2

   Next, grab your food processor and pulse 4 cups of rolled oats until they reach a fine, flour-like consistency.

3. Step 3

   Once you’ve achieved that, transfer the ground oats into a mixing bowl, where the magic begins.

4. Step 4

   Now, add in a grated apple, which will bring a delightful sweetness and moisture to your mixture.

5. Step 5

   Give it a good stir to combine.

6. Step 6

   Then, it’s time to introduce the star of the show: canned pumpkin.

7. Step 7

   Add that in along with an egg, and mix everything together until you have a thick, slightly sticky dough that’s just begging to be shaped.

8. Step 8

   To shape your treats, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of oats onto your work surface.

9. Step 9

   Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick—this is the perfect thickness for a satisfying bite.

10. Step 10

    Use your favorite cookie cutter to create fun shapes, and gently place them on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave a little space between each one.

11. Step 11

    Now, it’s time for the oven to work its magic! Bake your delightful creations for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown and feel crisp to the touch.

12. Step 12

    Once they’re done, carefully remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

13. Step 13

    As they cool, the aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist sneaking a taste! Enjoy your homemade treats, perfect for sharing with friends or indulging in a little self-care.
