The first part of the video shows an easy recipe for fruit leather. Our new air fryer has a dehydrate mode but seems easier to use an oven where you can use a full size cookie sheet with silicon mat. You can use the lowest setting of oven or 175. Seems like convection mode would dry the fruit faster. Making fruit leather is a good use for slightly overripe stone fruit. You can also separate the flavors by making separate batches in the blender and pouring into the pan.
