Apple Baby Food

Apple puree is a wonderful first food for baby. Use a sweeter variety of apple instead of a tart variety so that you don't need to add any sugar.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 15 servings

  • 6 apples - peeled, cored and chopped

Directions

  1. Place apples in a large saucepan and just barely cover with water. Simmer over medium-low heat until apples are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

  2. Remove cooked apples with a slotted spoon and place in a food processor or blender; puree until smooth. Allow to cool before serving.

Cook's Notes:

To freeze for later, fill an ice cube tray with the puree. Freeze until solid, about 2 hours, then remove cubes from the tray and place in a freezer bag. To defrost, place in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds, or as needed.

After introducing apple to your baby for 2 to 3 days, you can even add a pinch of cinnamon to see if your baby likes the taste.
