Elderberry Fruit Roll-Ups

Who else grew up unwrapping fruit roll-ups at lunch and feeling like you hit the snack jackpot? There’s just something about that chewy, tangy sweetness that instantly takes you back. These Elderberry Apple Fruit Roll-Ups bring that same childhood joy, but in a way that’s homemade and nourishing.

Made with just apples, a splash of water, and a generous pour of our Elderberry Immune Elixir, this version skips the refined sugar and dyes. Perfect for school lunches, road trips, or cozy movie nights, these fruit snacks are a fun way to sneak herbs into your whole family’s routine.

Ingredients:

  • 8 apples
  • 2 tablespoons Elderberry Immune Elixir 

  • Splash of water

Method: 

  • Roughly chop apples and add to a saucepan with a small splash of water
  • Simmer with the lid on for about 30 minutes until the apples have softened
  • Allow to cool to the touch
  • Using a stick blender or regular blender, blend the apples until no lumps remain
  • Add elderberry elixir and blend again
  • Pour the mixture onto dehydrator trays lined with parchment or silicon and smooth into thin, even sheets
  • Dry the leathers for 6-8hrs at 135 degrees
  • Once dry, peel the leathers from the trays and cut into long strips
  • Roll the strips up and add to a glass jar - these will keep in the pantry for several months!

Summary

This recipe transforms a childhood favorite into a functional wellness snack by pairing apples’ natural sweetness with elderberry’s immune-supporting antioxidants. Slow simmering and dehydrating preserve nutrients while creating a perfectly chewy texture. A delicious way to make herbal remedies feel fun, familiar, and family-friendly.
