Ingredients

  • 1/2 small butternut squash, or acorn squash

  • 1 apple

  • 1 to 2 tbsp apple juice, or water

Instructions

  • Seed squash. Place cut-side down on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave, uncovered, on high until soft, about 5 minutes.

  • Peel, core and coarsely chop apple. Scoop squash from shell into a microwave-safe dish that can hold at least 2 cups (500 ml). Add apple and 1 tbsp juice. Cover.

  • Microwave until apple is soft, about 3 minutes. Mash for a toddler or puree for a baby, adding more juice for a thinner texture, if needed. Cool to lukewarm before serving.
