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.  

Turtle Brownies

These rich turtle brownies are fudgy and full of pecans and caramel!  You’re not going to be able to eat just one brownie so you may want to share!
