Description
This baby-friendly apple crumble is made with soft, naturally sweet apples and a gentle oat topping. With no added sugar and simple, wholesome ingredients, it’s perfect for little ones 6 months and older as a snack or dessert.
Ingredients
For the Apple Filling:
• 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• ¼ tsp cinnamon (optional, for babies over 8 months)
• 2 tbsp water or breast milk/formula (for extra softness)
For the Crumble Topping:
• ¼ cup finely ground oats (or oat flour)
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
• 1 tbsp mashed banana or applesauce (natural sweetness)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a small saucepan, cook diced apples with water (or breast milk/formula) and cinnamon over low heat for 5–7 minutes, until soft. Mash lightly if needed.
3. In a small bowl, mix oat flour, butter (or coconut oil), and mashed banana/applesauce until crumbly.
4. Place the softened apples in a small baking dish and sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over them.
5. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and soft.
6. Let it cool completely before serving to your baby.
Notes
• For younger babies (6–7 months), blend the apple filling until smooth before baking.
• Use pear or peach instead of apples for variety.
• Can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and served warm or cold.
