Apple Carrot Puree
- 45 min
- Serves 6
- 5 ingredients
15 minutes to prep, 30 to cook. A nutrient‑rich puree made from apples and carrots, perfect for babies who love sweet, smooth flavors. This homemade baby food is packed with vitamins A, C, and E, and can be lightly seasoned with cinnamon and sea salt for a gentle flavor boost.
Free. No account needed.

Method
Peel the carrots (or rinse baby carrots) and peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces.
Place the chopped carrots and apples in a large pot and add enough water to completely cover them.
Bring to a boil over medium‑high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 20‑30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork.
Transfer the cooked fruit and veg to a food processor and puree until smooth, adding a little cooking water as needed for a thinner consistency.
Optional: stir in a pinch of cinnamon and a pinch of sea salt for extra flavor.
Allow the puree to cool, then portion into baby jars or reusable pouches, leaving a small space at the top for expansion if freezing.
