Cinnamon Applesauce Hearts

(no name submitted)

1 lb jar sweetened applesauce
8 oz cinnamon

Place contents of a one pound jar of sweetened applesauce in a strainer and drain for 6 to 8 hours or overnight. Place applesauce in a bowl and add 8 ounces of cinnamon, mixing it well. This will make a pastey mixture.  Roll into 1 inch balls and flatten on wax paper. Finally cut with cookie cutters and let harden and dry.

Hint: You may sprinkle with baking confections such as sprinkles, colored sugars, confectionery sugar, etc. but it is not necessary.
