- 1 medium to large sweetpotato
- 1 medium ripe pear
- 1 medium sweet apple like Gala or Honeycrisp
- 2 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice available in the spice section of the grocery story
- Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 175 degrees and set an oven rack to the middle position.
Line a cookie sheet with a Silpat silicone baking mat or other nonstick baking mat
Peel and cut fruit and sweetpotato into 1-inch pieces, approximately 4 cups total.
Put fruit and sweetpotato into a microwaveable bowl, and microwave on high approximately 8 minutes or until everything is soft and tender.
Transfer contents to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the chopping blade. Add maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice and puree mixture until completely smooth.
Pour mixture onto the Silpat and using a regular or offset spatula, spread mixture out to the edges until evenly thin and smooth.
Bake on a middle oven rack for 4-5 hours, until fruit leather is firm to the touch and pulls away from the baking mat easily.
Let cool completely, and cut into even strips. Store extra strips rolled up in an airtight bag or container.
Number of servings (yield): 10 pieces (about 1-inch x 15-inches long)
