Homemade Fruit Rolls

Chef Jamie Gwen offers this healthy snack recipe.

Ingredients:

2 cups fresh fruit or 16-oz. jar of smooth applesauce
1 tsp. lemon juice

Preparation:

Puree the fresh fruit with the lemon juice in a blender or food processor until it's smooth. If you're using applesauce, mix it with the lemon juice in a bowl. Invert a cookie sheet and cover the flat surface with heat-resistant plastic wrap.

* Note: Use masking tape to adhere the wrap to the cookie sheet because it prevents the edges from pulling up while the fruit dries.

Pour the fruit puree onto the plastic wrap, spreading it to about 1/4-inch thickness. Allow the puree to dry in a 140-degree oven for three hours or until the fruit is leathery but pliable. Keeping the oven door open at least two inches while doing so. Make sure to monitor the baking and to keep children and objects away from the oven and the nearby counter.

Cut fruit into strips and roll. Store the rolls in an airtight container.
