Fruit Leather Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Kids love fruit leather These delicious and fun snacks fit into a lunchbox for school, a bag for a road trip, or a pocket for a snack. Homemade fruit leather is easy to make with your choice of flavors and can be made in the oven or in a food dehydrator. When it is done, cut the leather into whatever size you like and wrap them up for grab-and-go ease. To store fruit leather after it is wrapped, place in an airtight container and refrigerate or even freeze for longer storage. This tasty recipe is simply made with pumpkin pie filling and applesauce. Both are quick and easy since they are already pureed with the extra bonus of spices added into the mix. However, you can also easily select your own favorite fruit flavor. Try using a mix of applesauce and another pureed fruit like berries, peaches, apricot, mango, and more. There are so many fun and flavorful combinations and you can even add spices for extra flavor. Let kids use their imaginations If you happen to have access to a fruit tree, that makes it even easier and more fun as kids can pick their own fruit. Prepackaged fruit leathers can include fillers, preservatives, and food coloring. These homemade leathers only contain natural, wholesome ingredients. It's simply pureed fruit with minimal sweetener and a little spice, producing a healthier product. Its a great feeling to give your kids something that you know is fun and wholesome for them. And dont forget, fruit leather is gluten-free and vegan.
