Get the recipe: DIY Applesauce Pouches (no sugar added)
Flavorful and easy to take on the go, these homemade applesauce pouches are a healthy and convenient alternative to pre-packaged snacks from the store. They're perfect for baby, toddlers, and big kids.
Ingredients
- 6 large apples, peeled, cored and chopped
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Prep: peel, core and chop apples.
- Simmer Apples: in a large stockpot, bring the apples, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer over medium-low heat, cover, and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool slightly.
- Blend: transfer all ingredients into a blender or food processor. Puree for 30-60 seconds or until you reach a smooth consistency.
- Pouches: using a spoon, fill the pouches with the applesauce until you reach the fill line. Securely close the zip-lock and wipe off any spills on the pouches.
- Eat: serve or store in the fridge or freezer for another snack.
Notes
Age: 6+ months. Babies can eat the applesauce at 6 months, but you may want to wait until they are a little older until you have over the applesauce pouch to them.
Storage: Applesauce Pouches will keep for 4 days in the fridge (if they lasts that long!) or for 4 months in the freezer.
Apples: Make sure to use apples that are ripe and sweet, such as Fuji, Gala, Honeycrisp, McIntosh, Pink Lady or Golden Delicious
