How to Make Fruit Roll-Ups

Fruit Roll-Ups, also known as fruit leathers, are a great healthy snack for young and old alike! You can make them from any type of pureed, cooked fruit that can be made fairly smooth. I prefer to use my homemade unsweetened applesauce but may explore adding some strawberry to it.

Fruit Roll-Ups

No-Sugar Applesauce (preferably homemade) (approx 1 qt made 2 trays cut into 4 - 5 roll ups each)

You will need the fruit-roll up sheets for your dehydrator.  Most come with at least one but they do sell them separately.  Place on the trays.

 Pour a very thin layer of the puree onto the trays of the dehydrator.  Some suggest a little spray oil first. I did not as I didn't want to add anything sticky to my fruit. I was able to peel it off.  Spread your applesauce as evenly as you can.

 Turn on dehydrator. Dry according to dehydrator instructions.  Takes anywhere from 4 to 7 hours.  It needs to be dry and not tacky.  If you dry too long it becomes crumbly. Cut into pieces. 

This is one rolled up.

To store roll-up you need to place on a piece of plastic wrap and roll up so that the plastic is inbetween the fruit so it doesn't stick back upon itself.

 Store in a zip shut bag until ready to eat.
