I loved fruit roll-ups as a kid! It’s a fun snack for sure, but it’s not the healthiest treat. The main ingredients in storebought fruit roll-ups are typically something like corn syrup, fruit puree, maltodextrin, etc. The three ingredients in homemade fruit roll-ups are fruit, honey, and lemon juice… that’s it!

I love taking snacks that are traditionally heavily processed and turning them into healthier options like my homemade peach ring gummies or homemade fruit snacks, and it’s time to take on fruit roll ups with this recipe!

These homemade fruit roll-ups are super easy to make at home with real fruit and your oven! You don’t even need a dehydrator to make this easy and nostalgic snack.

Recipe Tips & Tricks

  • Keep an eye on the oven! Depending on how hot your oven runs, you may need more or less time. They’ll need at least 4 hours, but from there, just check often for doneness.
  • Store in the fridge. The packaged version is made with preservatives and packaged in a way so they keep better at room temperature, but I would keep this real food version in the fridge for the best results.
