Special author’s note:

I use Fuji Apples as they’re much sweeter, hence I use less to no sugar at all. You may want to cut the apple scones into smaller pieces for your dogs. I use this as motivational dog treats when my dogs bring back the Frisbee. Works like magic. Plus it’s a great way to get them to exercise ideally in the spring and summer. My dogs can get a little lazy when the weather is breezy, especially Snowball and Trudy.
