Notes
Age: 4 months and up
Yield: 18 ounces
Apple Tip: I find that sweet apples work the best for baby food purees. I love to use fuji, gala, honey crisp or jonagold apples.
Peeling Tip: For stage 1 beginner purees, I would recommend to peel the apples. But once your baby has mastered the apples you can totally skip the peeling step if you are using organic produce.
Storage: Fridge – store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Freezer – can be frozen for up to 4 months (this and this are my favorite freezer storage containers).
