    With a mix of fruits you get often brown colors, similar to mixing different color paints you get dark often brown colors. I make apple leather from my yellow apples and even adding lemon juice to fight oxidation, it still comes out brown. My concord grape leather comes out dark/deep purple almost black.

    I blend the fruit into pulp (peeling apples first), then cook it down in a sauce pan until it’s thicker than a bowl of oatmeal, spread it out on silicon mats to about 1/4"-1/8" thick and dehydrate. Once dried, pull it off mats and roll up in wax paper like the image.

      Would including the apple peel work?

        It should just might have small tough skin parts, but they may soften with cooking. I’ve never tried it with skins.
