Hi Nummy for My Tummy readers! I’m Erica and I blog over at Edible Attitudes. I am a senior in high school and have worked hard to regain my health by eating real and healing foods (read full my story here). Edible Attitudes is all about building a community for teens with a restrictive diet and offering practical food advice. I hope you enjoy my recipe!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup thawed strawberries
- 2 cups shredded apples
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 T. honey (optional)
Equipement:
- Dehydrator
- Food Processor
- Spatula
Directions:
- Thaw the strawberries.
- Melt the coconut oil.
- Peel and shred the apples.
- Place all the ingredients but the coconut oil into the food processor.
- Pour the coconut oil over the shredded coconut. The coconut will harden if in contact with the apples or strawberries too long without being mixed together.
- Mix all the ingredients together until all fruit chunks are gone. The flakes from the shredded coconut will still be there which is fine.
- Spread evenly on to a dehydrator pan, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Dehydrate at 135°F for 4 to 5 hours. It is done when it is hard enough to hold together but not be brittle.
- Cut into square portions and store in the refrigerator.
Thank you for this fantastic recipe. I had t make a few changes for my situation like pears instead of strawberries and I used ground flax seeds because I ma use to that. The only thing I do not like is the temperature, you say 135 degrees, that cooks the fruit and makes them lose some nutritional value. If you go no higher than 120 it can still be called raw. But that is just a matter of taste or preference. Thanks...
