Super Easy Applesauce Crackers

I got this recipe from Happy Healthy Mama. I love this healthy cracker option for my baby boy!

Ingredients:
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed meal
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsweetened applesauce
4 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet or spray with cooking spray and set aside.

Put all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix. If the dough seems sticky, add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it feels dry, but not crumbly. Transfer your dough to a floured surface. Roll your dough until it is as thin as you can manage. The thinner the dough, the crispier the cracker. You can cut the dough into basic square shapes or make twists.

To make twists, cut the dough into thin strips that are approximately 3 1/2 inches long. The thinner you make the strips the crispier they will be.

Place the crackers on the oiled baking sheet. If you are making non-twists, use a fork to pierce the crackers to make holes all the way through the dough. This helps the crackers stay flat during baking.

Bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes, flip each cracker over and bake for another 5-10 minutes.
