1Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Place noodles in a large bowl. Drizzle with butter and sprinkle with sugar mixture; toss to coat. Spread in a parchment-lined 15x10-in. baking pan. Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown, stirring once. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.

2Remove and discard stems from apples; insert pop sticks into tops. Line a baking sheet with parchment. For feet, arrange 10 pairs of cookie halves on parchment.
