- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 2 whole Pears, Peeled, Cored, And Chopped
- 3 whole Medium Apples, Peeled, Cored And Chopped
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
Preparation
Preheat oven to 170 F. In a medium saucepan, toss together the pears, apples and cinnamon. Heat, stirring often, over medium heat until the fruit starts to release its juice, about 5 minutes. Bring the liquid to a low boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover, allowing the fruit to simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until it is very soft. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the fruit to cool.
Using a blender or immersion blender, puree the fruit and its juice until smooth. Line two rimmed cookie sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper and spread the fruit puree out on the lined sheets to as even a thickness as possible. I made mine as thin as I could without leaving holes just so it would dry a bit quicker.
Place the cookie sheets in the oven at 170 F and let the fruit dry for 5-7 hours, rotating the sheets occasionally so that it dries evenly. It is finished when it is a bit tacky to the touch, but not sticky or wet at all. Place a layer of plastic wrap over top of the fruit leather on the silicone mat and flip it over, then peel off the silicone mat. You can then cut the fruit and plastic wrap together into strips and roll them up. This makes about 12-16 roll-ups, depending on how big you cut the strips. These keep very well in a sealed container at room temperature.
