If you are planning to start your baby with solid food, I recommend you to start with apples. Because apples are non-allergenic fruits and there are packed with tons of nutrients which is a perfect fruit to include in your baby's diet. So my first baby food recipe is going to be apple puree, also known as apple sauce.
How to do apple puree:
1) Take a nice, firm, sweet, juicy apple. Cut a small piece of apple from it and place it inside a bowl.
2) Take a pressure cooker and fill the bottom with some water. Now place that bowl inside a pressure cooker.
3) Cover the cooker and cook it for 8 to 10 whistles. Switch off the heat and let the steam escape all by itself.
4) Open the cooker and remove the bowl carefully. If there is any water inside the bowl, drain that. Allow the apple to cool a bit so you can handle it.
5) Now peel the skin of the apple, since the apple is cooked, the skin just peels off.
6) Now You have two options to make apple puree. you could either mash the apple well with a spoon, add a splash of water if you wish. Keep mashing till the apple is completely mashed up. This type of mashing the apple with a spoon gives a little chunky apple puree and gives the puree some texture or If you want a smooth puree, put the cooked apples in a mixer and puree it. This will give you a smooth puree.
Now pour the prepared apple sauce in the sterilized bowl, the easy part is done. Now it is your talent to feed this to your fussy baby.
