Apple cinnamon wedges with almond flour
These warm cinnamon apples make a delicious BLW breakfast for your baby and a perfect snack for the whole family! They’re great for introducing and exposing your baby to highly allergenic foods like tree nuts or peanuts. You can choose to roll them in almond flour, ground peanuts, or peanut flour. Not only will this make it easier for your baby to pick up and hold these slippery apples, but it will give them a new flavor and texture experience, too!
Equipment
- 1 small plate
- 1 skillet
Ingredients
- 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter (or coconut oil)
- 1 medium apple
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 3 tbsp almond flour
Instructions
- Remove the skin from the apple and cut into wedges approximately ½ inch thick.
- Warm the butter or oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- When melted, add the apples. Stir to coat and cook for 10-15 minutes or until soft when poked with a fork.
- Stir in the cinnamon and let cool.
- Roll the apple wedges in almond flour and serve to baby as a finger food!
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Serve cold or warmed slightly.
- Use any apples you prefer, though harder, cooking apples work well here. If you choose to use a softer variety, just be aware that they may cook faster than the times given above.
- If choosing to use butter, remember it's also an allergenic food (dairy) so be sure that at least one of those allergens has been ruled out before combining the two together in this recipe.
