This recipe was a hit even with our picky eater. Keep in mind, the apple chunks may be too chewy for little ones without teeth or under 6 months. Also, the recipe calls for eggs. Most pediatricians advise against using the whole egg before 10 months. Check with yours, of course! In this recipe, you could just sub in some baby cereal to thicken instead of using egg.
3 apples
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon water
Small pinch of ground cinnamon
Peel and core the apples and then cut up into small pieces. Pour lemon juice and water into a small saucepan, add apples. Heat on medium for about 20 minutes or until the mixture is soft. Stir pretty often to prevent burning.
Puree the mixture to the consistency you want it. For older babies/toddlers, you can leave the chunks bigger to allow them to eat it with their fingers. Add in egg yolk (or cereal) and sugar.
Beat until the mixture is to desired consistency. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, enought time for the pie to set. Serve cooled.
