Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Apple Pie Dog Treats, from DogTipper.com

Ingredients:
6 large flour tortillas

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Lay out the tortilla then spread on 2-3 tablespoons (depending on the size of the tortilla) of applesauce. Try not to get too much applesauce near the edges of the tortilla.
Roll the tortilla like a jellyroll then put the tortilla, seam down, on a baking sheet.
When you’ve filled and rolled all the tortillas, pop the baking sheets in the oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, pull the baking sheets from the oven and flip the rolls; they should be lightly browned on the bottom. Apply butter to the top side of each tortilla. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon.
Return the rolls to the oven for about five minutes.
Remove from oven and allow the rolls to cool then slice them into bite-sized pieces.

Sweet Potato Chews, from Raise a Green Dog!

Ingredients:
1 sweet potato

Sweet potato chews from Raise a Green Dog!

Directions:

Wash and peel a sweet potato
Cut down the middle lengthwise.
Cut long lengthwise slices about 1/3 to 1/4 of an inch wide and place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet (use a stainless steel sheet for healthier cooking).
Put in the oven at 250 degrees for about 3 hours. This leaves them kind of chewy, but you could also bake them a little longer (about 20-30 minutes) to get them crunchy. Keep them refrigerated for up to three weeks. You can freeze them for up to 4 months.
