Here’s everything required to make a full batch of Apple Cinnamon Frozen Dog Bites.

For the base:

1 cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
1 ripe banana
1 tablespoon natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)

Instructions

Making Apple Cinnamon Frozen Dog Bites is a quick, no-cook process. Follow these steps for the best results.

Step 1: Prep the Apple

Core the apple and remove all seeds and the stem, then chop it into small pieces.

Step 2: Blend the Base Ingredients

Add the apple, Greek yogurt, banana, peanut butter, and cinnamon to a blender or food processor.

Step 3: Blend Until Smooth

Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no visible chunks of apple remaining.

Step 4: Stir in Optional Add-Ins

If using any optional add-ins, gently stir them into the mixture after blending.

Step 5: Fill the Molds

Pour the mixture into silicone paw-print molds, bone-shaped molds, or ice cube trays.

Step 6: Remove Air Bubbles

Tap the molds gently on the counter to remove any trapped air bubbles and help the bites freeze evenly.

Step 7: Freeze Until Firm

Freeze for 4 to 6 hours, or until the bites are completely firm.

Step 8: Unmold and Store

Remove the frozen treats from the molds and transfer them to an airtight freezer-safe container. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Step 9: Serve

Serve one or two frozen bites as a cool reward or snack. Always supervise your dog while enjoying treats, remove all apple seeds before preparing, and adjust serving sizes based on your dog’s size and dietary needs.
