Instructions
Preparation
Wash the apple and date thoroughly under running water.
Peel the apple and chop it into small cubes to ensure it cooks evenly.
Cooking Steps
In a small saucepan, combine the chopped apple, pitted date, and water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the apple softens and the date breaks down into a paste-like consistency. Stir occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool to lukewarm temperature.
Mash the mixture using a fork or potato masher, or blend it into a smooth puree using a blender, depending on your infant's age and ability to handle textures.
Serve fresh and warm as a standalone dish.
