Peanut Free Apple-Ginger Fruit Leather
Homemade fruit leather hits differently than anything you'd grab off a store shelf, and this apple-ginger version is genuinely hard to stop eating. Tart apples, bright lemon juice, warm Ceylon cinnamon, and a kick of fresh ginger come together into a smooth, chewy snack that tastes like autumn in the best possible way. The honey adds just enough sweetness to round everything out without making it cloying. Store-bought fruit snacks can be a minefield of shared-facility warnings, but when you make this at home with five clean ingredients, you know exactly what's going into every strip. The low-and-slow oven method does all the heavy lifting — you just blend, spread, and wait while your kitchen fills with the most incredible spiced apple aroma. Once it cools and you cut it into strips, it rolls up beautifully and keeps well, making it a perfect lunchbox addition or on-the-go treat for the whole family.

8 servings
- 2 lbs apples (about 4 medium), peeled, cored, and roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
- 1 tbsp honey
- ½ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 170°F (77°C). If your oven's lowest setting is 200°F (93°C), set it there and prop the door open slightly with a wooden spoon to allow moisture to escape. Line an 18x13-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Combine the chopped apples, grated ginger, honey, Ceylon cinnamon, and lemon juice in a blender or food processor. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 1–2 minutes, scraping down the sides once — the purée should be uniform with no visible apple chunks.
