Chop the apple into small pieces.
In a medium bowl, mix together the chopped apple, eggs, applesauce and peanut butter.
Combine the oat flour and rolled oats in a separate large bowl.
Add the wet ingredient mixture to the dry ingredient mixture and combine well to form a dough.
Turn the dough out onto a smooth surface and using your hands, combine the ingredients until you have a dough with a nice consistency.
Flatten evenly with your hands or a rolling pin to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness.
Using a cookie cutter, cut out the dog treats and place them on the covered baking sheet.
Bake the treats for 20 to 25 minutes.
Cool the treats to room temperature either on the baking sheet or a wire rack.
Making the glaze (optional):
In a small bowl, add the tablespoon of peanut butter and coconut oil.
Microwave for 30 seconds or until melted. Stir well.
Drizzle the mixture over the treats and let it set.
NOTE: Do not use peanut butter that contains xylitol, an artificial sweetener that is toxic to dogs.
