Baby's first apple puree
Baby's first apple puree
After rice cereal, fruit purees are baby's next step in new taste sensations. Naturally sweet, apple puree is easy to make and healthy for your baby, either by itself or mixed into rice cereal.
ingredients
- 2 Pink Lady apples, peeled, cored and sliced
- 2 cups water
method
- In a saucepan, bring apples and water to the boil. Simmer for 10 minutes or until the apples are very soft.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes. Puree using a stick or conventional blender until smooth or push through a sieve.
notes
- I used Pink Lady apples for this recipe but Delicious apples would be sweeter.
- This puree can be frozen into clean covered ice cube trays for easy portions.
- Baby a fan of this puree? Try adding yoghurt or raspberries for a tasty twist on this recipe.
- Pureed roasted pumpkin is another great first food to give to babies. They love the sweet flavour that roasting the pumpkin releases and the consistency is easy for them to swallow.
- If your baby is ready for their first taste of meat, try making this easy chicken casserole or this beef and vegetable one which can both be introduced from six months.
- This is a nursery classic, as is baby rice cream which is basically homemade rice pudding. Babies love it!
- Most mums give baby rice cereal for breakfast, but porridge is another option. Made with banana, this recipe is deliciously sweet.
- You can make this tasty beef casserole for the whole family and serve some up for your baby once she turns 10-months-old.
