Apple Fruit Leather

                       Check out my Tutorial Video here for my Apple Fruit Leather!!!

To start, if we can get our kids to eat whole natural fruit, that is our first option.  That being said, if you are looking for a fun way to get a little more fruit in their bellies, my Apple Fruit Leather is a nice back up plan.  A great little snack with no added sugar, all natural!  Even better, see if you can involve them in the process, it just may increase compliance.  These travel well, perfect for a lunch box, or after soccer snack...or quite frankly anytime of day!

Ingredients~

Apples

     Chop up Apples into small pieces, add to heavy duty blender.  I found it better to blend in small batches, about a 1/2 chopped Apple at a time in my Ninja produced the perfect consistency.  Pour onto a silpat lined cookie sheet, as much as desired to create a thin even layer.  Bake at 170 degrees for 4 hours, leaving oven door open a crack with a wooden spoon.  Remove, cool, cut into strips with a pizza cutter.  Meanwhile, prepare strips of wax paper, lay a strip of leather on top of wax paper, and roll up tightly, then twist the ends securely.  Store in fridge.  Enjoy :)

     Have you ever been in a pickle for a ripe Avocado…only to find all the ones at the store are rock hard!?  Whelp, I got you…keep reading!  Whether it’s Guac, Salads or Wraps that need a touch of green, an Avocado is always the perfect answer.  When you are in desperate pinch, here is an idea.  Bring a pot of water to a boil, drop your unripened Avocado in the boiling water for 15 minutes, remove, allow to cool, and use as desired!  I still prefer the natural ripening process, the flavor is better, much better.  I will only use this when I have no other options!  But every girl needs a few tricks up her sleeve when magic needs to happen!  👊🏻
