How to Make Apples Soft for Toddlers
Apples are a healthy snack for toddlers, but they can be difficult for them to chew. To make apples softer and easier for toddlers to eat, there are several methods you can use.
Boiling Method
One way to soften apples is by boiling them. Start by washing the apples and cutting them into small pieces. Place the pieces in a pot of boiling water and let them cook for about 10 minutes. Once the apples are soft, remove them from the heat and let them cool before serving.
Steaming Method
Another way to soften apples is by steaming them. Start by washing the apples and cutting them into small pieces. Place the pieces in a steamer basket over boiling water and let them steam for about 10 minutes. Once the apples are soft, remove them from the heat and let them cool before serving.
Microwave Method
A third way to soften apples is by microwaving them. Start by washing the apples and cutting them into small pieces. Place the pieces in a microwave-safe bowl with a few tablespoons of water and cover with plastic wrap or a lid. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the apples are soft. Let cool before serving.
