To make applesauce ornaments you need applesauce and cinnamon. Mix together equal parts applesauce and cinnamon gradually adding the cinnamon in. About 1 cup of each will make a small batch.
The dough will be pretty soft and gooey. Simply roll out the dough (don't roll out too thin, they might break!) on wax paper or parchment and use cookie cutters to create fun ornaments. Be sure to poke a hole in them somewhere if you want to add a ribbon or ornament hook to it, you could also glue a ribbon on the back after it's dried.
Lay them on a cookie sheet and let dry for a few days or bake in the oven at around 200 degrees for about an hour. Keep an eye on them in the oven and make sure it's on a low heat. After they are completely dry, you can decorate them or just let them stay that cinnamon color. Mmmm I can almost smell them by just thinking about them on the tree. Merry Christmas!

Vermin?? Gross. Neat craft! I'd forgotten about these (and was very concerned by the title of your post ;) .
I'm sorry I had to chuckle when I read a vermin ate them, teehee.
I have never heard of this type of ornament, so cool that is lasted this long.
My girls made a dough ornament, It had to be thrown away, as it had white stuff growing on them, lol.
They probably were eaten because they smelled so good...Fun craft!
My daughter's teacher made these this year and she sent one home. They put glitter on the top of them while they were still wet. I'm wondering if I should put it in the freezer until next year to avoid vermin.
