Notes
- Store in a sealed container such as a mason jar for up to 7 days in the refrigerator. Note that this is NOT a canning recipe, for canning recipes need special ingredients and care.
- Although Granny Smith is the go-to apple for this recipe, you can also use Fuji apples, Honey Crisp, or Gala apples.
- If you're using this for baby food, I suggest leaving out the sugar and lemon.
- If you are using squeeze bottle lemon juice, only use a teaspoon.
- Serving suggestions: On toast, on ice cream or just as is!
