Making your own baby purée from apples is so easy – and you can rest assured you know exactly what went in the recipe.

If you are not using your own home-grown apples, make sure you choose organic apples free of pesticides. Let baby eat it as is, or mix it into porridge for a naturally sweetened dish.

MAKES 5-6 PORTIONS | Preparation time: 10 minutes | Cooking time: 10 minutes
