2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, egg, and chopped apple. Mix until well blended.
3. Add the Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the whole wheat flour, oats, and cinnamon (if using) until a dough forms.
4. Roll and Cut: Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use dog bone or paw-shaped cookie cutters to create fun shapes.
5. Bake: Place the treats on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and firm.
