Silky Apple Purée — A Naturally Sweet First Fruit for 6+ Months
A single-ingredient apple purée, steamed and mashed: a light, naturally sweet and easy-to-digest meal for your baby just starting solids.
Ingredients
- 1 piece (medium) Apple (sweet, ripe)
- 3-4 tablespoons Drinking water (for steaming)
Directions
- 1
Wash the apple well, peel it and remove the core.
- 2
Cut it into small cubes so it softens faster and more evenly.
- 3
Place the apple cubes and 3-4 tablespoons of water in a pot and steam, covered, over low heat for 10-12 minutes.
- 4
Once the apple is soft enough to mash easily with a fork, take it off the heat.
- 5
Mash with a fork, or blend with a hand blender for a smooth texture; add some of the steaming water to loosen the consistency if you like.
- 6
When lukewarm, offer it to your baby by the spoonful, a little at a time. A few spoonfuls are plenty for a first taste.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Apple is an easy-to-digest fruit that provides vitamin C and natural fibre (especially pectin). Steamed and mashed, it makes a gentle start to solids from the sixth month. Thanks to its own natural sweetness, it supports your baby's developing palate without needing any sweetener and helps them get used to new flavours.
Maiyko's note
At Maiyko we care that those first spoonfuls stay simple and pure; just like our organic cotton clothes, your baby's first meals are loveliest when they are soft and natural.
