cup

Instructions
Directions:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the flour, salt, cream of tartar, nutmeg and
cinnamon. Stir until incorporated.
Add water, olive oil, red food coloring and stir continually until mixture thickens and begins to
form a ball.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
Place the cooled play dough on a non-stick surface and knead until the color is consistent
throughout the dough and the texture is smooth.
Optional: find thin sticks and leaves from outside and place them in the ball of dough to make
them look like real apples with stems and leaves.
Notes
Note: Store in an airtight container to prevent drying. If the play dough does start to dry out, add a little olive oil and knead.
