Baby Applesauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat applesauce in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Pour applesauce into blender. Add the eggs. Blend until combined; about 5 seconds. Add vanilla, sugar, salt and flour. Blend until evenly mixed. Add two tablespoons of melted butter. Blend another 30 seconds.
• Heat oven-proof skillet on medium heat. Pour a tablespoon of melted butter into skillet and swirl it around to coat the bottom and sides of the pan. Immediately pour the batter into the skillet; place in middle rack of oven.
• Bake until golden brown around the edges and the pancake is puffed, about 20 minutes.
• Brush the last tablespoon of melted butter evenly over pancake. Sift powdered sugar over top, if desired.
• Mix together 2 tablespoons flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over the Dutch Baby. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Chop the apples roughly, place in a saucepan and add around an inch of water or unsweetened apple juice.
• Bring to the boil, then lower the heat, cover and simmer gently until the chunks of apple are tender (around 10 mins).
• Don't feel tempted to continue cooking the apple chunks until they resemble applesauce. By the time they LOOK like applesauce, they will be overcooked and watery. Instead, cook to the point where the chunks are tender -- but still look like chunks!
• Remove the chunks of apple from the pan, then puree or mash them as desired.

Steps:

• Simmer apples, covered, in a large saucepan with 1/3 cup water until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer mixture to a blender. Working in small batches, blend until smooth. Pass through a fine sieve. For a coarser texture, pass apples through a food mill, or pulse in a food processor. Fill 1/4-cup plastic containers or ice-cube trays with applesauce.
