AIP Friendly Ceylon Cinnamon & Vanilla Fruit Leather

Fruit leather sounds like a kids' snack, but this version is genuinely sophisticated — layered with the warm depth of Ceylon cinnamon, floral vanilla powder, and a bright hit of fresh lemon juice that makes the whole thing taste alive. Strawberries, blueberries, and peach come together in a blended, strained puree that bakes low and slow into a chewy, glossy sheet you'll want to eat straight off the pan. Store-bought fruit snacks are almost always off the table on an autoimmune elimination protocol thanks to added sugars, natural flavors, and preservatives that can sneak in under vague labeling — this recipe sidesteps all of that with just whole fruit, honey, and spices. The slow oven-drying process does all the heavy lifting, transforming the puree into something with real texture and concentrated flavor without any dehydrator required. It makes 8 strips, so you can roll them in parchment and stash them for the week ahead, which is a genuine lifesaver when you need a grab-and-go option that actually fits your protocol. The use of vanilla powder rather than extract keeps it compliant without sacrificing any of that warm, bakery-style aroma. Once you've made a batch, it's hard to go back to anything from a crinkly plastic pouch.
