Print Recipe

A quick, wholesome, and comforting baby puree combining roasted sweet potatoes, softened apples, and a hint of cinnamon. Perfect for introducing solids with a creamy, naturally sweet texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium sweet potato (about 8 ounces or 225 grams), peeled and cubed
  • 1 medium apple (about 6 ounces or 170 grams), peeled, cored, and chopped (Fuji or Gala recommended)
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon (a pinch)
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup (60–120 ml) water, breast milk, or formula

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Peel and cut the sweet potato into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes. Spread them evenly on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast the sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes until tender and starting to caramelize at the edges. Check by piercing with a fork; they should be soft.
  4. Meanwhile, peel, core, and chop the apple into small chunks.
  5. In a small saucepan, add the chopped apple with about 1/4 cup (60 ml) water to cover the bottom. Simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes until the apple softens.
  6. Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes and softened apples to a blender or food processor. Add a pinch of cinnamon and 1/4 cup (60 ml) of water, breast milk, or formula.
  7. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more liquid in small increments if needed to reach a spoonable consistency. The texture should be silky but not runny.
  8. Let the puree cool to a safe temperature before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 48 hours.

Notes

Roasting sweet potatoes enhances their natural sweetness and flavor compared to boiling. Adjust liquid to achieve desired texture for baby’s age. Use breast milk or formula for added nutrients and familiar taste. Cinnamon should be used sparingly to avoid overwhelming baby’s palate. Puree can be frozen in ice cube trays for up to 3 months.
