I'm going to make applesauce for my baby for the first time. How do I cook the apple and what thickness should it be?

Starting with solid foods, applesauce is a nice beginning. Slice the apple with skin, remove seeds, then boil in water or steam it about 8-10 minutes until soft. Don't throw away the cooking water — save some to adjust thickness. Once cooked, mash with a fork or blend; in the first months (6-8 months), it should be thin puree that drips slightly from the spoon but baby can swallow easily. If it's too thick, thin it with the reserved cooking water or breast milk/formula. Serve at room temperature. Use plain apples with no other ingredients — no cinnamon, sugar, or other fruits at first.
