Yield

4 servings each

Here’s a healthy and easy snack for the whole family (great for road trips!) with very little prep time required.

½ green apple, peeled

1 cup blueberries

1 cup strawberries

1 cup raspberries

½ ripe banana

1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries

1 teaspoon lemon juice

MIXED BERRY APPLE

Puree berries and apple in a blender until smooth, adding a small amount of water if needed to achieve a smooth texture.
Strain fruit mixture through a fine sieve to remove seeds.
Line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat and pour strained fruit onto it, spreading to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Take care to make sure the center of the fruit leather is slightly thinner than the edges, if possible.
Set oven to 140 degrees on dehydrate mode and dry fruit mixture for 6 to 10 hours, depending on thickness and moisture content. Leather is ready when it pulls away from the mat easily.
