Brutie’s Apple-Bacon Bites

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or bacon grease)
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 3 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup bacon bits or 6-8 slices of crumbled bacon

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Combine egg, oil, milk, apple sauce, and bacon bits and mix well.  Add in flour and mix thoroughly.  Knead the dough on a slightly floured surface.  I used a stand mixer with a dough hook for 3 minutes to save time.  Roll out the dough 1/4″ to 1/2″ thick and cut into pieces or use cookie cutters to cut out shapes.  Bake for 25 minutes or until browned and hard.
