Ingredients

  • 3 lbs. organic apples and plums*
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Optional: 1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon**

Instructions

  • Prepare the apples and plums by slicing and coring them– no need to peel, as you'll be blending the mixture.
  • Place the fruit and water in the bowl of your slow cooker, then cover and set to cook on on high for 4 hours (or low for 6 hours), until the apples are very soft.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree the fruit or transfer fruit to a blender and blend slowly. Careful not to overblend, the fruit will become soupy very quickly if you're using a high-speed blender.
  • Store plum applesauce in the fridge for a week, or freeze for up to 6 months. For baby, use an ice cube tray or small snack baggie to portion out plum applesauce before freezing.

Notes

*I used 4 plums and 3 apples. Use your favorite apple variety. I used Gala apples.
**Feel free to add cinnamon to slow cooker before cooking, however, for young babies it is not recommended.
