Apple Baby Puree
Jump to recipe
Apples are a super easy homemade baby food to make. And while apples are wonderful on their own, they’re perfect for adding to other foods to do the following:
- Flavor something bland,
- Sweeten something tart, or
- Thin something thick.
So if you’re interested in making your own baby food, I’d recommend starting with apples for a fruit. Already there have been so many times when I’m making a new baby food, realize it’s missing something, and find apples do just the trick!
