Tasty Treat Tuesday - Carrot Apple Pretzels

For today's treat Mom made some Carrot Apple Pretzels.  I love them! 

To start off you will need:

• 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 1 apple shredded
• 1 carrot shredded
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1 Tbsp. packed brown sugar
• 1 egg beaten
• 1/4 cup water

For frosting you will need:

• 2 oz light cream cheese
• water
• food coloring if desired

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray cookie sheet with olive oil spray.  Blend flour and cornmeal in large mixing bowl.  Add apple, carrot, egg, oil, brown sugar, and water.  Mix until well blended.  Add flour if too runny.

On floured surface take pieces of dough ball and roll into long thin strips.  Shape into pretzels.  You can make these as big or small as needed depending on size of dog.  You can also roll dough out and cut with cookie cutters.  Place treats on cookie sheet.

Bake in oven for 40 minutes.  Turn off oven and leave treats for an hour to crisp.  Let treats cool completely.

For the frosting you will need to melt cream cheese in microwave.  Add water until it is desired consistency.  Add food coloring if using.  Dip pretzels.  Let dry for 4 hours on parchment paper.

Store in refrigerator.

Enjoy!

Love,
