Fruit leather

Ingredients

1 cup apple sauce
2 cups frozen fruit -- 1 cup mango, 1 cup strawberries
** I've used blueberries, strawberries, mango, banana, and raspberries and pretty much every combination.  I even made it with apple sauce and cinnamon.

Methods

1.  Thaw fruit 
2.  Blend fruit and apple sauce until smooth
3.  Lightly grease a cookie sheet
4.  Pour mixture on the cookie sheet and spread it out evenly
5.  Place in oven at 195 degrees and leave the oven slightly ajar, it allows for easier dehydration.  It usually takes me about 3 hours, but times will vary depending on the thickness of your fruit leather.  At some point I usually trim the cooked edges, likely cause by my super old cookie sheet.  Keep an eye on it.
