Apple Puree 🍎

Equipment

•  cutting board, peeler, knife, potato masher (optional), measuring cup, medium saucepan, blender or bullet (this is my favourite)

Ingredients

• 6 apples, peeled, cored and chopped
• 1 cup water (or more as needed)
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Method

1. Peel, core and chunk apples into a medium saucepan.
2. Add water and cinnamon (if using).
3. Turn to medium heat and cover with a lid.
4. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until apples are easily pierced by a fork. Add water as needed.
5. Allow to cool.
6. Pour into a blender and puree, or use a fork and mash.

Pro Tip

Apples can burn fast, so make sure to add water as needed, use a lid and don't walk away for too long! Cook time will depend on the size of your apple chunks and heat. I often find it takes longer than I expect to make this. So double the recipe if you use lots of applesauce to save yourself time.

Storage

Apple puree will last in the fridge for about 5-7 days and in the freezer for about 6 months. To freeze, portion out the puree into ice cube trays and transfer to an airtight container once frozen, or use a silicone freezer tray with a lid

Apples are one of the most common foods choked on foods for children under the age of three. Do not offer your child apple slices until at least 9 months of age.
