Organic Stewed Cinnamon Apples

Harlow loves apples. She REALLY loves them.

And I have loved making her organic homemade applesauce and stewed apples for almost a year. In fact, with the help of my Beaba Babycook and The Baby and Toddler Cookbook, Harlow has never eaten baby food from a jar!

Organic Stewed Cinnamon Apples are one of our staple recipes that we make almost weekly. Start with any type of organic apples. We prefer Braeburn, but I couldn't resist these gorgeous Red Delicious apples from Washington (home sweet home) that I found at our local co-op.

Peel and cut four apples into bite sized pieces, and place in a saucepan.

Fill the saucepan with water, then sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon over the apples and gently stir. Bring the mixture to a boil, and then turn the heat down to low and simmer until the apples are soft enough for your little one.

After the apples have cooled, serve and devour!

The apples can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator safely for 3-4 days.

  2. You should try an apple peeler/corer/slicer. My mom bought me one and they're awesome! Takes about five seconds and does all three of those things with hardly any effort. We use it for pies and pancakes most of the time.

    1. Are you talking about the crank ones? I've had one of those, and also smaller ones that just core and slice, but we don't have a dishwasher and I'm super lazy about washing those contraptions!
