Equipment

1 Food Dehydrator
3 Rimmed Silicone Dehydrator Trays

Ingredients

1 ¼ lb Granny Smith Apples Cored, Peeled, and Chopped.
2 cups Frozen Blueberries measure before thawing
¼ cup Water
2 tablespoon Sweetener of Choice: Honey Maple Syrup, or White Sugar
Pinch Salt

Instructions

Simmer chopped apples and water - covered - for 10-15 minutes, or until the apples are cooked through and soft.
Transfer apples and any remaining water to a high speed blender or food processor, along with the thawed blueberries, sweetener, and salt. Blend until smooth.
Divide mixture between three silicone dehydrator trays. Use an offset spatula to spread the mixture to an even thickness on each tray.
Dehydrate at 135 F for 6 hours.
At 6 hours, check your fruit leather. It should pull up from the silicone relatively easily, and be soft without being sticky. If it’s not dried yet, put it back in the food dehydrator until it is.
Once you’re happy with the dryness, remove the pans from the food dehydrator and allow to cool to room temperature.
Use a pizza wheel or sharp knife to cut the blueberry apple fruit leather into strips, then store in an airtight container - see notes on how to condition it.

Notes

Condition the Apple Blueberry Leather:

Keep an eye on the fruit leather for the first 3 days or so.

If you see any evidence of residual moisture in that time frame - droplets on the bag, etc - return the blueberry apple leather to the dehydrator and let it dry a bit more.

If at any point you see any evidence of mold, throw the batch out.

Once you’re sure the apple blueberry leather is fully dry and moisture isn’t coming out, transfer them to an airtight container for longer term storage.
