New to fruit leather? This simple, 3-ingredient recipe turns out perfectly every time - no dehydrator required! Peach fruit leather is one of the easiest (and tastiest) ways to transform fresh or frozen peaches into a naturally sweet and healthy snack. It beats store-bought fruit roll-ups every time!
This weekend was my kids' big birthday bash. You can imagine how excited they were when I told them I would be handing out healthy, homemade fruit roll-ups instead of the standard candy fare. They were thrilled! Kind of...
This year, I planted a peach tree in hopes that someday I will have hundreds of pounds of fruit to process. But even if that never happens, this recipe will still be come in handy. Fruit leather is pricey to buy at the store. Making it at home is cheaper, healthier, and ridiculously easy.

How to make peach fruit leather
INGREDIENTS
6 cups chopped peaches (Can also be made with any other fruit. Get creative.)
2 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Step 1:
Pop your peaches into the freezer for a couple of hours and then run them under warm water to easily remove the peel.
If you want to impress your friends at your next party, you could show them this trick. In fact, you should all come over to my place for a celebration, and I can share a bunch of these really cool party tricks. Wouldn't that be fun? No really!
Step 2:
Preheat your oven to its lowest setting. Mine is 170° F. Line an 11 x 17 baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 3:
Puree the peaches, honey, and cinnamon in a blender until smooth. Pour mixture onto parchment paper and spread to about ⅛″ thick. Spread the fruit slightly thicker along the edges, as it will cook fastest there.
Step 4:
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 hours or until the surface is smooth and no longer sticky.
Step 5:
While the fruit is still warm, peel off the fruit leather from the parchment paper and cut into strips using a pizza cutter. Roll into parchment paper and store in an air-tight container.
Now, who is ready for a party at my place? Only healthy snacks and lots of cool party tricks. I just know you are excited!
