Place the apples into a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the water and cover. Allow it to simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Stir a few times to make sure everything cooks consistently.
1 cup water, 8 cups of apples
Pour the cooked apples into a blender and blend until smooth.
Pour the blended ingredients back into the pot, still over a medium-low temperature. Add the lemon juice and cinnamon. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes.
2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Spoon the mixture onto the appropriate dehydrator trays. Be sure to keep the mixture as level as possible for a consistent dehydration process. Dehydrate at 135 F for 10 to 12 hours until the leather texture is achieved and when it peels off the trays easily.
If you don’t have a dehydrator, this process can be done in the oven. Preheat your oven to the lowest temperature. Anywhere between 135 and 170 is good. Cook for 8 to 12 hours, depending on the temperature of the oven.
Cut the fruit leather into evenly shaped rectangles and roll them up to make fruit rolls.
