This yummy sweet potato apple mash is guaranteed to become one of baby’s favourite first foods. The combination of creamy sweet potato with the hint of earthy pumpkin pie spice makes for a delicate-tasting, nutrient dense puree to offer baby from 6+ months.
The addition of raw, grated apple adds a burst of freshness to the rich flavour of this mash and cuts through the richness of the sweet potatoes. Since this recipe boasts traditional fall flavours, it would be the perfect accompaniment to baby’s Thanksgiving meal.
This mash is not only good for baby’s tastebuds, it’s also good for you since it’s loaded with nutrients and vitamins. Sweet potatoes are a great course of fiber, B6, potassium, and have a low glycemic index, and apples are packed with fiber and vitamin C.

I would make this for myself if I could find the sweet potato here 😀 I love, love, love sweet potatoes and anything you make from them.
Hi there. I just stumbled across your blog. I haven’t seen many posting healthy recipes for the little one. I’m glad others are writing about it, I’m hoping it will inspire more to make fresh meals for their babies.
Thanks so much Jordan! We try to follow a healthy, balanced diet so I think it’s important for our children to as well! My motto is: the kids eat whatever we eat (minus some ingredients of course!) I LOVE cooking so it’s only natural for me to want to prepare everything fresh for my kids. Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you back! I appreciate the feedback 😉
