Description
Pumpkin & Apple Dog Tarts are a nutritious fall treat for dogs, made with pumpkin, apple, and oat flour. These treats provide fiber and vitamins in a tasty, dog-friendly tart your pup will love!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup diced apple (peeled and chopped into small cubes)
- 1 cup oat flour (plus more if needed for dough consistency)
- 1 egg (for binding)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour and egg, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more oat flour until it reaches a workable consistency.
- Press small portions of the dough into mini muffin tins to form tart shells.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pre-bake the tart shells for about 10 minutes until they start to firm up slightly, then remove from oven.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the pumpkin puree, diced apple, and cinnamon (if using). Cook for about 5 minutes, until the apples start to soften.
- Spoon the pumpkin-apple filling into each tart shell. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the filling is set and the shells are golden.
- Allow the tarts to cool completely before serving to your dog.
Notes
- Store the tarts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Be sure to use unsweetened pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
- If your dog has never had cinnamon before, you may skip it, as it is optional and meant for added flavor.
