Pup-Cakes

These are nice cupcake treats for dogs that I made up for my dog Presley’s 4th birthday. They are perfect for dogs with food allergies. Warning: they don’t look pretty, but Fido will love them! These freeze well, and you can zap them in the microwave for a nice, occasional dog snack.

Original recipe yields 12 servings

Ingredients:

1 apple – peeled, cored and shredded  

½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
