Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by washing, peeling, and chopping your apples, berries, and chosen vegetables like zucchini or carrots. Place them in a blender and blend on high for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- If you’re opting for a creamier texture, add the coconut cream to the blended fruit mixture. Blend again for about 1 minute.
- Line your dehydrator trays or baking sheets with parchment paper. Pour the fruit mixture onto the trays and use a spatula to spread it evenly to about ¼ inch thickness.
- Set your dehydrator to 135°F (57°C) and allow it to dry for 6-9 hours, or preheat your oven to about 170°F (77°C) and place the trays inside.
- Once dehydrated, remove the trays from the dehydrator or oven. Allow the fruit leather to cool completely on the sheets for about 30 minutes.
- Transfer the cut pieces of the fruit leather into an airtight container or wrap them in parchment paper to keep them fresh.

Notes
Ensure your puree is completely smooth before drying; lumps can lead to uneven drying. Store your Healthy Apple and Berry Fruit Leather in an airtight container to maintain freshness over time.
