Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Finely grate the apple and carrot. Remove all apple seeds, stem, and core.
Mix the grated apple, grated carrot, egg, and optional applesauce in a large bowl.
Gradually stir in the flour until a firm dough forms. Add water one tablespoon at a time if needed.
Roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thick for crunchy treats or 1/2 inch for thicker bones.
Cut into bone shapes and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25–35 minutes until firm and lightly golden.
For extra crunchy treats, turn off the oven and leave the biscuits inside with the door slightly open for 20–30 minutes.
Cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

Always remove apple seeds, stem, and core before using apples. Do not add sugar, salt, xylitol, chocolate, raisins, or nutmeg. Store fully cooled treats in an airtight container for up to 5 days, refrigerate for up to 10 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
