Organic Apple Cinnamon Pies for Dogs (Attempt 1)

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

While we’ve nailed our flagship organic dog treat (the PB Bones), we know that we’re going to have to offer more than one variety of organic treats if we’re going to be able to compete with some much larger suppliers. Our “bakery” has only one oven and one small mixer, so it takes a bit to churn out a batch of treats. Today, we sourced some new organic ingredients and attempted to put together our first batch of Organic Apple Cinnamon Pies. We tried a few different versions - all of them circular - and none of them were perfect. Sure, Maisy, the CTO (Chief Tasting Officer) loved them, I’m just not thrilled with their texture. They weren’t “flakey” enough. We tried various dough techniques, baking times, and ingredients, but none met our rigid standards. Here’s a few pictures of our hand at these treats:

Tomorrow’s a new day and we’ll get started with some new ideas. Of course, we’ll stick to our core mission of using only the best organic ingredients we can get our hands on.
