ACTUALLY the easiest thing to make on the planet. As a kid I loved fruit roll-up but as an adult I look for more healthier alternatives. Anyone can make a more natural fruit roll-up at home, all you need are the following:

INGREDIENTS:

FRUIT (I used 2 Large Mangos and 2 Peaches)

DIRECTIONS:

Cut the fruit up and place it in a blender till it is liquefied.

Pour the liquefied fruit on a banking sheet with wax paper or a non-stick baking mat. Spread the liquefied fruit out evenly using a spatula. Aim for about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thickness.

Bake at 175 Degrees for 3-4 hours. If it is thicker you will need to let it bake for longer. If you have a lot of liquefied fruit you can use two trays or just put it all on one and bake for longer (could be up to 12 hours to fully dehydrate)

**its actually not cooking the fruit at this temperature it is only dehydrating it of its water content which leaves the natural sugars behind to create the fruit roll up! This can be used for most fruit except for anything that is made of 80% juice like citrus fruit. Berries, mango, peaches, pairs, plums, apples and kiwi's work best
