Making treats is a fun and easy way to give your dog a special snack. You can make apple dog treats in just a few hours with minimal effort.

To make apple dog treats, you'll need a few basic ingredients, including apples, cinnamon, and a cookie sheet. You can also use an apple slicer to make the process easier. Simply slice the apples into thin pieces, remove the seeds, and layer them on the cookie sheet.

To dry the apple slices, you can place the cookie sheet in the oven at 175 Fahrenheit for 5-6 hours. This will turn the apples into crunchy chips that your dog will love. You can also store them in a Ziploc bag for later use.

If you want to make a more complex treat, you can try making apple and sweet potato dog treats. To make these, you'll need to preheat the oven to 400 Fahrenheit, bake sweet potatoes for 40 minutes, and then mix them with apples, egg, and cinnamon. You can shape the dough into twists or other shapes and bake them at 375 Fahrenheit for 40-45 minutes. These treats are supposed to be crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle.

Making homemade dog treats is a great way to show your furry friend some love and care. You can make them with just a few simple ingredients and some basic kitchen tools.

To get started, you'll need a few apples, a knife, a cutting board, a cookie sheet, and a cookie cooling rack (optional). If you have an apple slicer, it'll make things much easier, but a knife will do the trick too.

Cut the apples into very thin slices, about less than 1/4 of an inch thick. This will help them cook evenly and turn into delicious chips.

You can also add a touch of cinnamon to give your treats an extra flavor. This is totally optional, but it's a nice touch.

To dry the apple slices, preheat your oven to its lowest setting, which is 175 Fahrenheit. You can also use a cookie drying rack or a cookie sheet to help them dry evenly.

The hardest part of making these treats is waiting 5-6 hours for them to be done. But trust me, it's worth it! Once they're dry, you can store them in a Ziploc bag and they'll last for quite a while.

Here are some storage tips for your homemade dog treats:

Remember, always check with your vet before introducing new treats to your dog's diet, especially if they have any food allergies or sensitivities.

Preheat your oven to 400° F to start making these delicious treats.

You'll need to wash and dry sweet potatoes before cutting them in half and placing them cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake them for 40 minutes.

Let the sweet potatoes cool completely before peeling the skin off and smashing them with a fork. If they've burned a bit on the bottom, just cut that off.

Mix the mashed sweet potatoes with shredded or chopped apple, an egg, and cinnamon in a bowl.

Add wheat flour to the mix, slowly stirring as you go. If the dough is sticky, add more flour.

You can make various shapes with the dough, but I love making twists for my bigger dogs. To do this, form a ball of dough and roll it out into a log with your hands. Roll it into about 16 inches long.

Bake the treats at 375° F for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
