This is a great way to use autumn's abundance of apples. Even fruit that is slightly bruised works well; simply trim the brown portion. Or try ripe pears in place of the apples.

Yield Makes two 13-by-9-inch sheets

Number Of Ingredients 7

Vegetable-oil cooking spray
3 pounds (5 to 6 medium) baking apples, such as Gala or Macoun, peeled, cored, and chopped (8 cups)
1 cup fresh or thawed frozen cranberries
1/3 cup pasteurized apple juice or cider
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Generously coat two 13-by-9-inch rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray, and line with a Silpat baking mat if desired.
  • Working in batches, puree apples, cranberries, apple juice or cider, lemon juice, honey, and sugar in a blender. Pour into a bowl to combine.
  • Divide puree between prepared pans. Let stand 1 minute, then drain excess liquid. Smooth with an offset spatula. (The puree should be almost 1/4 inch thick.) Bake, with oven door open slightly, until dry to the touch (but not browned), about 6 hours. Close oven door, turn off oven, and let dry overnight in the oven. (Fruit leather should be stiff, but still pliable.)
  • Remove fruit leather from pans. Trim uneven edges, cut into desired size, and roll up if desired.

I found that the fruit leather was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it was a little thinner.

This fruit leather is a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's because I used Granny Smith apples. Next time I'll try using a sweeter variety of apple.
