Super duper easy! I found that 6 apples makes almost 2 ice cube trays worth of baby food. Most babies eat 1-2 cubes per feeding so this should last you 1-2 weeks depending on what kind of eater you have. :)
Wash apples and place upright in baking dish with 1 inch of water. Cut each apple in half OR you can core the apple which is basically cutting out the middle of the apple which leaves a big hole in it. Either way is fine. I find that cutting the apple in half is easier and less messy.
Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes. Drain water, and let cool off. Peel the skin off once cooled or scoop out the inside with a spoon. Make sure to cut out and discard the seeds and skin.
Mix in blender with breast milk, water, or formula to desired consistency. A hint; it doesn't take much liquid to puree apples. Apples hold their own water so don't add as much liquid to the apples when mixing like you normally would.
Pour into bowl and spoon into ice cube tray. I would add a little more than normal to each cube because it lessens when it freezes.
3 apples made this tray, fyi. Medium sized Braeburn apples.
