As much as we love applesauce, we’ve been brainstorming ways to update this go-to snack for babies, children and adults alike. We recently stumbled upon this Apple, Raspberry & Vanilla Bean Purèe created by one of our favorite baby feeding resources, BabyFoodE- not only did the sound of vanilla and raspberry catch our attention, but the bright pink color made us instantly interested! It turns out that his combo is a winner- we’ve adapted it slightly and included the recipe below.
