APPLE FRUIT LEATHER
APPLE FRUIT LEATHER
Ingredients
- 4 cups diced peeled apples
- 1/4 cup liquid honey
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh ginger
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- Pinch ground cloves
Directions
- Preheat oven to 200°F on convection mode.
- Combine all ingredients in a large non-reactive saucepan; cook, uncovered, over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Transfer mixture to a food processor; process until smooth.
- Spread mixture out into a 14x12 inch rectangle in a non-stick baking mat-lined or parchment paper-lined large rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake until mixture is dry and pliable, about 2 1/2 - 3 hours. Cool completely in pan on a rack.
- Using the non-stick baking mat as an aid, lift fruit leather from pan and invert fruit leather onto a cutting board. Remove non-stick baking mat.
- Cut fruit leather in half lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into 7 strips. Store, layered with parchment paper, in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to 1 month. May be frozen for up to 2 months.
