Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 600 g unsweetened applesauce Keeps the recipe healthy; feel free to use homemade if available.
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Adds a warm flavor; adjust based on personal preference.
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice Enhances flavor and preserves color of applesauce.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 80–90 °C (175–194 °F).
- In a mixing bowl, stir the applesauce, cinnamon, and lemon juice together until smooth.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
- Pour the apple mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it thinly and evenly with a spatula.
Cooking
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and let it dry for about 3–4 hours, checking occasionally. It’s done when the surface is no longer sticky to the touch.
- Once dry, remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.
- Cut the fruit leather into strips and roll them up for storage or enjoy immediately.
Notes
Check occasionally to prevent over-drying; a little flexibility is ideal for texture. For a tangier flavor, add unsweetened applesauce mixed with pear puree. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for several weeks.
