Apples and Carrots are combined into a healthy and tasty dish that will interest your little one into experiencing different solid foods.

Apparently my 7-month-old enjoyed the homemade apple carrot puree!

Asher started solids a little after 5 months. We started with oatmeal and the typical fruits and veggies. My goal is similar to my own eating philosophy: fill his tummy with every color of the rainbow. So far, so good: he has tried and loves apples, mangoes, carrots, peaches, bananas, kiwi, avocado, peas, green beans, pears and blueberries.

Your baby’s (silver) spoon is waiting.

When storing it for later how do you I defrost the frozen cubes?

Just leave them out on the counter for a little bit – 30 minutes to an hour should work.

Ingredients
 

  • 5 carrots (peeled)
  • 2 apples (cored)
  • Water

Instructions
 

  • Place a steamer basket in a large sauce pot and pour in just enough water to see through the basket.
  • Bring the water to a boil by placing a lid on the pot.
  • Cut carrots into about 1 inch chunks.
  • Once water has come to a boil, remove lid and add apples and carrots.
  • Cover and let steam until tender (about 20 minutes or so.)
  • Place tender carrots and apples into a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Add water until you’ve reached your desired consistency. (I added about 1 cup.)
  • To freeze: place puree in ice cube trays.
  • Once frozen, remove from tray and place cubes into a zip lock bag to store.

      You could use milk in place of water.

    I just made it and my baby girl didn’t know what to think. After you freeze it, how do you get it ready to eat?

    How long can you freeze this purée and does it matter which type of apple you use?

      You can freeze it up to 3-5 months and any type of apple works!

    Can’t wait! After you bring it to a boil, do you turn off the burner and just let the hot water steam the veggies or turn it down to low? Thank you for sharing!

    This is a lovely recipe… looks like gorgeous and flavors, plus carrots and apple are good for Vitamin A.

    Recently bought baby food maker and have been on the prowl for recipes. Can’t wait to try this. I’ll report back with Little One’s feedback. :) x

        Yup, went down a treat! Thx!

        Why don’t we adults eat some of these combos?!

        Fun tip: If you can pick up purple carrots at a farmers market, then it puts a funky twist on this pureé.
