I have made this in my Mummy Cooks Weaning class and it always go down a treat. It is suitable to introduce about two weeks after you have started weaning because the texture is just slightly more then a runny carrot purée. When your baby is a little older, have it as a desert with some yogurt. Yum Yum!Cook time: 30-40 minutes
Portions: 6 x 60ml / 2oz
Ingredients
3 Red apples
9 Prunes
Cinnamon
Natural full fat yoghurt (optional)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
-
Wash and core the apples. If you don’t have an apple corer, use a knife to cut out the centre, starting at the stem and working your way down.
-
Stuff 3 pitted prunes inside each apple and sprinkle a little cinnamon on the top.
-
Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until the apples are very soft.
-
Remove from the oven and place in a blender. Blend to your desired consistency. Add water to make a runny purée.
-
Store portions in your weaning pots and freeze extra for future use.
