Apricot Apple Leather

After dehydrating several batches of apple leather, I moved on to apricot-apple leather.  It was so delicious that I want to record what I did.  Use apricots - about 10-12 washed, pitted and trimmed.  Put into Vitamix container.  Fill the rest of the container with washed, cored, trimmed and quartered apples.  Puree.  Pour onto the dehydrator sheets.  They took about 18 hours or so to dry, which was much longer than the apple leather.  It could be due to being thicker, but I think part of the issue was the apricots being more watery and less pectin-y.  (Is that even a word?)  Anyway, it tastes fabulous!
