Apple Fruit Roll-Ups

Directions

1. 1
   Pre-heat oven to 200F.
2. 2
   Line 12x17 with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
3. 3
   Add all the ingredients with only 2 tablespoons sugar or honey into the KitchenAid(R) Diamond Blender. Add the cinnamon if desired. Liquefy for a few seconds until a smooth consistency is reached. Taste for sweetness and adjust, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar or honey, if needed. Pulse once or twice.
4. 4
   Pour the pureed fruit into a large sauce pan on medium/high heat. Bring to boil, stir and immediately reduce to low/medium heat for a gentle bubble. Occasionally stir. Be careful, the apple sauce might splatter. Lower to low heat as the sauce thickens. Cook uncovered for approximately 25-35 minutes or until the sauce is thick. Take off the stove and let it cool slightly.
5. 5
   Pour onto the parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Spread and level with a spatula or an off set spatula.
6. 6
   Bake for approximately 6 - 6 1/2 hours* or until tacky to the touch but not sticky. Rotate the trays 180 degrees midway through.
7. 7
   Let the fruit leather come to room temperature and cut into strips with a pizza cutter or kitchen shears. Peel off the parchment paper and roll with the parchment paper or without. If using silicone, flip the fruit leather on top of parchment paper and cut into strips, then roll.
8. 8
   *Time depends on the oven as ovens vary as well as moisture content of the fruit. If using turbo, time might be shorter. Batch can be easily doubled and both trays can go into the oven at once.
