Homemade Apple Sauces – 2 Ways

https://youtube.com/shorts/-I3r_RLnFy8?feature=share

Hi Savvys,

I have always wanted to purchase reusable food pouches since they are a more eco-friendly way to serve pureed fruits to my little ones.  My littles love having fruit pouches (like apple sauce) but I try to limit their intake of these convenient foods for when we travel so that I can limit our waste when snacking.  I finally got my hands on some reusable ones from Kangoo et Cie!  I love that these pouches come in cute patterns, are easy to fill and of course are reusable.  They are also BPA-free, PVC-free, phthalates-free and lead-free food grade plastic making it safe for my family.

I made a basic apple sauce puree with cinnamon as well as an apple, peach and cauliflower puree for added veggies!  Check out the below for the recipes.  I also froze them in ice cube trays in the shape of cylinders making it easy to add and defrost in the fruit pouches for on the go!  These recipes are also perfect for baby led weaning!

I look forward to making more combinations of fruit purees and will be posting recipes in the future.  Comment below on what your favourite purees are!

Now set forth and be savvy!

~makes 4-6 portions, depending on how large your apples are and how full you fill your pouches

Ingredients

  • 4 apples, any kind – peeled, cored and diced
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

~makes 4-6 portions, depending on how large your apples are and how full you fill your pouches

Ingredients

  • 4 apples, any kind – peeled, cored and diced
  • 4 peaches, peeled, pitted and diced
  • ½ cup frozen cauliflower florets
  • 2 tbsp water

Directions (same for both purees)

  1. Add all ingredients to a medium sized pot on high heat
  2. As soon as the water comes to a boil, turn the heat down to medium and let simmer until the ingredients are fork tender, about 7 minutes
  3. Blend in a food processor until desired consistency is reached.  I like to pulse it since my boys like the purees on the chunky side
  4. When cooled, store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  5. I like to freeze in ice cube trays in the shape of cylinders so that I can easily fill the fruit pouches – about 3 cylinders fit each fruit pouch
  6. Can be frozen for up to 3 months
