I have already posted the apple puree recipe for babies, what is the difference between apple puree and applesauce recipe for babies, you may ask. There is not much of a difference except that apple puree is made by steaming the apples and in apple sauce we allow them stew over low flame for a long time. This applesauce recipe is without sugar.

Method
- Rinse, peel and chop the apples.
- Place them in a sauce pan or pan.
- Add water,the water should just about cover the apples.
- Bring this mixture to a simmer on a low to medium flame.
- You can also add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg.
- Simmer till they become soft. you can either puree or mash them.
The colour of the apple sauce mainly depends upon the type of apple used. If the apples are not very sweet then little jaggery can be added.
