Ingredients for Apple Banana Fruit Leather

  • 3 ripe bananas, peeled and chopped
  • Applesauce

How to Make Apple Banana Fruit Leather

  1. Preheat your dehydrator to 125 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Wash and peel 2 large apples and 3 ripe bananas.
  3. Roughly chop the apples and bananas into chunks.
  4. Place the chopped fruit into a blender.
  5. Blend until completely smooth and pureed. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water if needed to achieve a smooth consistency.
  6. Line your dehydrator trays with non-stick sheets or parchment paper.
  7. Spread the puree evenly onto the prepared trays, ensuring a thin and consistent layer (about 1/8 inch thick).
  8. Dehydrate for 7 1/2 hours, or until the fruit leather is completely dry and leathery to the touch. Check for doneness after 7 hours.
  9. Once completely dry, carefully peel the fruit leather from the sheets.
  10. Cut into desired shapes and sizes. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
