5 stars (5 ratings)
Carrot Applesauce is the perfect afternoon snack for your toddler or baby (and yourself) that is full of wholesome apples, carrots and spices, and tastes just like a bowl of warm carrot cake,
Add all ingredients to a medium or large stock pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 35-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until carrots are tender when pricked with a fork. Let cool slightly.
Transfer all ingredients to a blender or a food processor and pulse until you have reached your desired consistency. For toddlers and family applesauce, I just pulsed for 20 seconds until just blended and there was still some chunkiness to it. For baby, you can puree for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
