Yes, this is a dehydrator recipe. You can make it in the oven as well, but I would suggest researching the temperature and times to do it. Some recipes I found said to dry the leather for 3 hours on a low temperature. Knowing how long this took in the dehydrator – that probably wont work the best. Do whatever method makes sense for you and is the easiest for you!
If you plan on using a dehydrator you will need special tray inserts for this recipe! You can find fruit roll trays on Amazon and several other sites.
Ingredients:
- 1 Quart fresh organic strawberries
- 2 cups apple sauce
- Cooking Spray
Directions:
- Wash and core all of your strawberries. Place them in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
- Add in your apple sauce and blend again until smooth.
- Spray your fruit roll trays with your cooking spray until well coated. Spray it well.
- With a spatula smooth your fruit blend onto the trays – one at a time. Be sure to have them on the tray first before applying fruit.
- Once both trays are full place the top on your dehydrator and turn it on to 140 degrees.
- Let it dry for up to 12 hours. Test it occasionally by touching the top. The finished fruit leather will not be wet but may be a bit tacky.
- When your fruit leather is done, place a sheet of parchment paper down on a cutting board and slide one of your leather discs onto it. Use a pizza cutter to cut it into strips, roll them up for your own fruit roll ups!
- Enjoy!
Store in a lidded container up to a couple weeks – but they wont last that long 😉
