🐾 It's Benben, your festive foodie friend! 🍖 Time to spice up the holidays with my Cinnamon & Apple Pupple Pie – a treat that'll have your taste buds dancing with joy. Check the comments for the recipe and get ready for a paw-lickin' good time! 🍏🥧
BenBen's Cinnamon and Apple Pupple Pie

Ingredients:

2 cups diced apples (make sure to remove seeds and core, and no skin)
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon (large amounts can irritate a pets stomach so adjust as needed)
1 egg (whisked)
1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, combine the diced apples and unsweetened applesauce.
In a separate bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the apple mixture, stirring until it forms a dough.
If using honey, you can add it to the dough for a touch of sweetness.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit your pup's pie tin or mold.
Carefully place the dough in the tin, pressing it down and up the sides.
Pour any remaining applesauce onto the crust for an extra apple kick.
Use any leftover dough to create a lattice or other decorative pattern on top.
Brush the top with the whisked egg for a golden finish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Let the pie cool completely before serving to your pup.

Your furry friend is sure to love this Cinnamon and Apple Pupple Pie! Remember, moderation is key, and always check with your vet if you have concerns about specific ingredients for your pup. Enjoy the baking and the happy tail wags! 🍏🥧🐾
