We have a NEW Fall dog biscuit recipe to share! Today, we are sharing our homemade Apple Pumpkin Dog Treat recipe. When I first created it, I was unsure what my own pups would think of it. But once they had it, I knew it was a clear winner.
To keep the dough workable with our Dog Biscuit Cutters, I decided to use apple powder, versus apple sauce in our recipe. For pumpkin, I used my favorite pumpkin powder. And after looking at the ingredients in the brand I use for the pumpkin powder, I noticed it has apple in it. It really was a win-win for this specific recipe!

For this recipe, I stamped the dough with our newest, Thanksgiving themed dog biscuit cutters. This new Apple Pumpkin Dog Biscuit recipe was the perfect pick for these cutters.

Combine dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Mix well with a whisk. Set dry ingredients to the side.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine all remaining wet ingredients. Mix well with a whisk.
Begin to slowly combine dry ingredients to wet ingredients with a large mixing spoon. When it begins to form into a ball of dough, knead dough with your hands as you add the remainder of the dry ingredients. You might not need to use all of the dry mix. You want the dough to no longer be sticky so it’s easy to stamp with your Loki Doki Dog Cutters, but also not too dense where it’s hard to knead the dough with your hands. Tip: when you begin to knead with your hands, dab the ball of dough into the flour mix as you knead. This method helps to prevent adding too much flour.
Roll out dough to ¼ inch to create the best looking treats when stamping out your dough with Loki Doki Dog Dog Biscuit cutters. This height will ensure you get the impression you do want. If dough is rolled out too thick, you will get impressions you don’t want.
Set stamped cookies onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake in oven for approximately 25 minutes.
Recipe Note
TIP!
If apple powder is not easily available or it's an ingredient you don't see yourself using often when baking, you can take single ingredient dehydrated apples and grind them up into a fine powder in a food processor. To better condition the powder, warm up your oven to a low temperature. After you preheated your oven, turn it off. Next, place your apple powder on a parchment lined baking sheet and place it in your warm oven for about 15 minutes. Remove and let it cool.
Double check that there are no pits in your batch of dehydrated apples, as apple seeds can be toxic for dogs to consume.
TIP!
After 15 minutes of baking, check your dog biscuits to see if any cookies are puffing up. If any are, you can pierce the bottom of your cookies with a fork to deflate them and prevent any further puffing.
Important, Always Check Your Food Product's Ingredient List
Not all human-grade food products are made the same. Before making anything homemade for your pups, check over the food label to ensure they are no additives that are toxic for your dog to consume.
