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.
