Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large apple (cored and chopped, skin on)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (unsweetened, xylitol-free)
- 1 1/2 cups oats (old-fashioned or quick oats)
- 1/4 cup water (as needed for consistency)
- Optional: a pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash, core, and chop the apple into small pieces.
- Blend oats in a food processor until they reach a flour-like consistency.
- In a mixing bowl, combine chopped apple, peanut butter, ground oats, and cinnamon (if using).
- Add water gradually, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together.
- Roll the dough into small, bite-sized balls or shape into mini cookies.
- Place bites on the baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes until firm and lightly golden.
- Let treats cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- Use unsweetened, xylitol-free peanut butter to avoid toxic ingredients.
- Store treats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

- Feel free to substitute the apple with other dog-safe fruits like banana or blueberry.
- Adjust baking time for a softer or crunchier texture, based on your dog’s preference.
