Pureed Apples

Written by Published on

We are all familiar with the saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Well, is that statement really true? With all the nutrients an apple provides, maybe it just might be able to keep the doctor away. In fact, some research has soon that apples can help prevent some forms of cancer.  Additional research has soon that apples help boost your brain and may mitigate Alzheimer’s Disease.

Consuming an apple with the skin on does provide more nutrients than without the skin. However the skin can be a bit tough for an infant. Therefore, for the time being, I like to peel the skin off.

An apple provides some of the following nutrients:

  • Vitamins A & C
  • FIber
  • Calcium
  • Antioxidants
  • Potassium

Step By Step Instructions

 

Thoroughly wash and scrub the apple under cold running water.

Peel the apples using the vegetable peeler.

Cut the apples in half

Cut the ends off of the apples

Cut it in half and carefully cut the core out.

Cut the halved piece into quarters

     

Place the apple chunks into the blender, add about a 1/4 cup of filtered water. Cover the blender tightly with the lid.

Blend it until you get the pureed like consistency.

Place the pureed apples in a mason jar and store it in the refrigerator.

The apple has turned brown because once it gets in contact with air, it oxidizes. It is still safe to eat.
