Learn how to make DIY Applesauce Cinnamon Ornaments with this video tutorial. This is a great project to do with kids for a new Christmas tradition.
I think we have a new Christmas tradition here at the farmhouse. DIY Applesauce Cinnamon Ornaments.
I think you will see in the video below just how much fun the kids had making these things. They are super simple, so you can let the kids get messy and enjoy making them (mostly) by themselves.
Just equal parts cinnamon and applesauce make up these scrumptious smelling DIY Christmas decor.

Applesauce Cinnamon Ornaments Ingredients
2 cups cinnamon
2 cups applesauce
I just used the cheapest I could find, which was from Aldi.
Other supplies needed
Cookie Cutters (I used these stainless steel stars I purchased from Amazon.)
String (I used this string from Sugar Paper at Target)
Something to poke a hole in the top. We used a pencil.
I have had a lot of people ask about the kid sized rolling pins. I found them HERE.
Applesauce Cinnamon Ornaments Instructions
Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
Combine the cinnamon and applesauce in a large bowl. Stir until incorporated. You will have to use your hands to really knead it like a dough.
Roll it out until it is 1/4″ to 1/2″ thick.
Use cookie cutters to cut them out into shapes. I used these stars from Amazon.
Use something sharp, like a skewer, ink pen or pencil to poke a hole large enough for your string to go through.
Bake for two hours on a greased baking sheet.
Allow them to cool.
Put strings through the holes and tie a knot.
Decorate the tree!
If my belly looks rather round in the video that is because I actually shot it when I was in early labor with our newest addition, Micah.
I could tell things were happening but had no idea he would be born just hours later at 7 p.m. that night. You can read our home birth story HERE.
I’m so glad I was able to get in one last Christmas activity with the older kids before baby made his arrival.
They fit right in with our other handmade ornaments in our neutral color tree theme.

Edible Cinnamon/Applesauce ornaments…or Save them for Years to come or Throw out after Tree comes down ?
Natasha says
Hey June… I would say to save them. Being out in the open to dust, etc, you may not want to eat them.
Lauri Strain says
Please wear gloves when making these! Especially don’t let little bare hands knead the dough. I made them (years ago) and got huge blisters on my palms and can no longer eat cinnamon or hardly be near it. I have found out since that exposure to too much cinnamon can cause lifetime sensitivity.
