Steaming apples for your baby is a simple and nutritious way to prepare homemade puree. Follow these easy steps to ensure a healthy meal for your little one.
- Choose apples: Select organic apples to avoid pesticides. Varieties like Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp are ideal.
- Wash and peel: Thoroughly wash and peel the apples to remove any dirt and wax.
- Core and slice: Remove the apple cores and cut the apples into small, even slices for uniform cooking.
- Steam: Place apple slices in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for about 10 minutes until tender.
- Blend: Transfer steamed apples to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Add water if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Cool and serve: Allow the puree to cool before serving it to your baby. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
