Day 2: Fruit Leather

Hi Everyone,

I am here to share one of my most frequent recipes and one my kids go through so quickly. Fruit Leather. I have made several different flavors and all have been amazing. My cheerleaders actually text me to see if I have made any for away game trips. Each of my kids and my cheerleaders like a different flavor so today since Alex has his first official minors baseball game I will share with you his favorite. Apple Cinnamon Fruit Leather.

Apple Cinnamon Fruit Leather:

• 6 large apples-chopped (I usually use ones that are about to turn)
• 1/2 tsp of cinnamon
• Water to cover the apples

Peel and core your apples. Roughly chop and place in sauce pot. Cover with water and add cinnamon. Let the apple cook down about half hour, just like you are making applesauce. After apples have cooked down let cool. Place cooled apples in your food processor and blend. Now you have applesauce. You can stop here and have applesauce or you can pour on to your lightly greased silicone mat in your food dehydrator. Smooth out all the way across to even layer. Turn dehydrator to 130-140 degrees for approximately 8 hrs. ( I like to do mine overnight) When the dehydrator is finished. Take a pizza cutter and cut it in to portions. (I usually get 10-12 portions) Then wrap up in cellophane for the kids lunches.

Off to baseball for me!
