Apple and Pear Puree

As the old saying goes “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. Apple is undeniably nutrient-rich fruit and my little bub adores apples. I usually use them as base and sweetening agent for his mixed fruit purees. Just add mashed plums, peaches, banana or avocados for variety.

The below recipe is great for breakfast. Just mix the puree with grain cereals. Or you can turn it into delicious popsicle for hot weather. Baby popsicle moulds can be purchase online or selected baby store. I got mine from amazon.com.

Here’s one for the babies
