• Working in batches, puree apples, cranberries, apple juice or cider, lemon juice, honeym and sugar in a blender. Pour into a bowl to combine.
• Divide puree between prepared pans. Let stand 1 minute, then drain excess liquid. Smooth with an offset spatula. The puree should be almost 1/4 inch thick. Bake, with oven door open slightly, until dry to the touch, (but not browned), about 6 hours. Close oven door, turn off oven. Fruit leather should be stiff, but still pliable.
