3 1/2 c Whole Wheat Flour (you can substitute white flour)
1 c cornmeal
3/4 c. oatmeal flakes
1 medium apple
1/3 c peanut butter (or use 1/2 c. Chunky Peanut Butter)
1/2 c crushed peanuts (skip if you’re using Chunky Peanut Butter)
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1/2 c. water
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 c cornmeal
3/4 c. oatmeal flakes
1 medium apple
1/3 c peanut butter (or use 1/2 c. Chunky Peanut Butter)
1/2 c crushed peanuts (skip if you’re using Chunky Peanut Butter)
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1/2 c. water
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
Makes about 40-1″ dog treats
1. Dice up apple. Don’t bother to peel the apple.
2. Add to a food processor, diced apple, peanut butter, oil, water, eggs and vanilla. Blend until apple is completely emulsified.
3. Add the cornmeal and oatmeal and blend.
4. With the food processor running, gradually add the Whole Wheat Flour until completely incorporated.
5. Add nuts and pulse 2 or 3 times, just enough to mix nuts into the dough. Dough will be thick and sort of rubbery to the touch.
6. Remove dough to a small bowl.
7. Roll 1 tsp of dough into a ball. Depending on the size of your dog, you may want to make a smaller sized ball.
8. Place each ball of dough on a parchment lined baking sheet and press down to form a flat disk. Dog treats do not rise when baked, so whatever size they are going into the oven, is the size they will be when baked.
9. Bake at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes. When treats are done, turn off oven and crack open oven door. Leave treats in oven overnight to dry out.
10. The treats do mold easily so freeze what you can’t use in 1-2 days. Then just thaw as needed.

NOTE: I do include a bag of homemade Dog Treats in my annual Christmas Cookie Baskets but make sure to label them DOG TREATS! 
Not that there’s anything that a human could not eat but dog treats are not sweet and quite a surprise if one is expecting a cookie!

Watson’s Biscuits

1 lb. of beef liver
1 tsp minced garlic or onion ***See Note
1 1/2 c. flour
1 c. yellow corn meal
1 tsp minced garlic or onion ***See Note
1 1/2 c. flour
1 c. yellow corn meal
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
When the liver is partially thawed, I cut it into bit sized pieces and put it in my food processor.Process the liver until it is thoroughly minced actually it will be like liver mush.
Add garlic or onion, flour and cornmeal and process until well mixed.
On a well greased cookie sheet or 8″by11″ pan spread out the liver mixture about 1/4″ thick.
The above recipe will only make about half a pan, so don’t worry about filling the entire pan or sheet. If you want to totally fill the pan double the recipe.Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. The biscuits bake quickly so keep an eye on them.
When the biscuits are done but still warm, cut into bit-sized pieces. If you wait until they are cooled it is much more difficult to cut.
Since the biscuits are mainly beef, they will spoil. I freeze the majority of the biscuits and keep a baggie full in the refrigerator for daily treats and defrost as necessary.
