Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 1 pound Gala or Fuji apples (3 or 4), peeled and chopped
- 1/2 pound strawberries, halved
Method
Combine apples and 1/4 cup water in a large saucepan.
Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 20 minutes. (If apples begin to dry out while cooking, add more water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, to keep them moist.)
Stir in strawberries, cover and cook until they are very tender, about 5 minutes more.
Carefully transfer apple mixture to a food processor and purée until smooth. Alternatively, mash with a fork or a potato masher.
The applesauce will keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
(Suggested age: 8 months and up)
