Homemade Apple Pumpkin Dog Treats

These Homemade Apple Pumpkin Dog Treats is now a new favorite of Bentley’s treats that Kylie has made at home for him. I love that she is into making him treats, we know what exactly is in them instead of wondering about store-bought treats. (I have included affiliate links to products I love.

Now with it being fall and with how much Bentley loved Kylies Easy Pumpkin Dog Treat Recipe (see my post -> here), she wanted to try another one made with pumpkin.  We opted to work with one with oatmeal since its easier and more dog-friendly then all purpose flour.

Homemade Apple Pumpkin Dog Treats Ingredients:

• 4 1/4 cups old fashion oatmeal
• 1 Egg
• 1 Small apple
• 1 Cup canned pumpkin puree

Homemade Apple Pumpkin Dog Treats Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

In a food processor ground up 4 cups of your oatmeal into an almost flour-like consistency.  (Leave aside the extra 1/4 cup for a minute).  Amazon hasn’t had my food processor in stock for years but a big high-quality one is worth the money it can help you to save so much money in the long run.  I bought mine in 2013 and it is still going strong with no problems, I use mine for so many different things and it is so much easier than a cheese grater, your knuckles will thank you!

Using an apple corer cut up your apple.  Make sure to remove any removing seeds or tough part of your core off of the apple slices.

Now I have a bit of a problem I love the OXO brand! This grater has a container at the bottom which is great for catching what you are grating.  Plus the apple corer I have of theirs that looks like the one below hasn’t broken! With how many times I am making apple slices for the kids having a strong metal one is a must have and worth the extra cost.

In a bowl mix together your egg, apple, and pumpkin puree pump and mix together well.

Add in slowly your ground oatmeal.  This gets really thick and was easier to finish kneading together with my hands.

Roll out your dough and cut out the shapes! We did dog bones, a dog shape, and a dog house! I know Bentley doesn’t care about the shapes but Kylie had a blast with the shapes. I had no idea so many cookie cutters for dogs are out there.

Place your cut cookies on a cookie sheet.

Bake for about 13 minutes.

We found ours only lasted a couple days in an airtight container. I may try storing them in the fridge next time we make them.

As you can tell Bentley loved these treats.
