1 oz. pumpkin pie ground spice
1 oz. apple pie ground spice
2 tbsp. applesauce
Mixing bowl, wooden spoon and cookie sheet

SHAPE THE BRICKS: Mix the applesauce and spices together in a bowl. Work up a somewhat stiff, but not dry dough. Pull off a small amount of dough; gently pat into 1 1/2 inch rectangle. Place the brick on the cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. (Makes approximately 10 bricks).

BAKE: Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Bake bricks for 1 1/2 hours, until dry and firm. Let cool.

FINISHING: To use a simmering potpourri, simply drop in boiling water. To use as a spice, drop into a container of simmering cider. As a sachet, wrap one to three bricks in muslin; tie with a pretty bow.
