I get such a kick out of edible table decorations; along those lines, I like consumable party favors (or wedding take-home goodies), too.   This year, for Thanksgiving, I whipped up a double batch of apple fruit roll-ups and put a small wrap on each plate.  It was a seasonal palate cleanser and was a fun story-prompter.  I might’ve even convinced my uncle David to buy a dehydrator!

Ingredients for the Roll-Up:
apple sauce
honey
cinnamon, all spice, nutmeg, ginger

Tools:
food dehydrator
parchment paper
scissor
string

Method:
Cook down apples into a sauce or scoop from a jar.  Heat on the stove; add honey and spices to taste.  Remove from stove and spread on a plastic dehydrating sheet (like this one) about 1/2 cm thick.  Turn dehydrator on at 135 degrees and dehydrate for 10-12 hours.  Peel away from plastic, rip or cut into thin strips and roll up in parchment paper.

  Yes! So glad this made it to the blog. Those fruit roll-ups were so tasty, I had to try and pace myself and not eat them all at once. I failed.
