Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the 1 cup of mashed pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup cooked rolled oats, 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 1 tablespoon of xylitol-free peanut butter. Mix until well combined.1 cup 100% pure pumpkin puree (not pie filling), 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1 tablespoon pure peanut butter
- Stir in the 1/2 cup of shredded or finely diced cooked chicken or turkey. Add the 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly to distribute the ingredients evenly.1/2 cup plain, cooked chicken or turkey breast, 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- If the mixture seems too dry and crumbly, gradually add up to 1/4 cup of water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a cohesive dough-like consistency is achieved. You want it to hold together when pressed.1/4 cup water
- Grease a small pie dish or an 8x8 inch baking pan lightly with a pet-safe oil. Spoon the mixture into the prepared dish, pressing it down evenly with the back of a spoon to form a crust of about 1/2 inch thickness.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the center is firm to the touch. The texture should be soft but hold its shape.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This is crucial to prevent burns and allow the pie to set properly.
Notes
Serve as a topper or a special treat. Consult your vet for specific feeding guidelines. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
