Apples often take longer to soften than ripe pears, so cook the firmer fruit first and blend only when both squash readily.
Wash, peel if needed, core and deseed the apple and pear. Cut into even pieces.
Steam apple first until beginning to soften. Add pear and continue until both fruits crush easily with a fork.
Blend smooth or mash to a soft spoonable consistency, then cool before serving.
Core and deseed both fruits, remove tough skin and ensure no hard raw apple chunks remain. Serve smoothly blended or as an entirely soft mash as skills develop.
Fully smooth.
Slightly thicker.
Apple and pear have no intentionally added common major allergens, but individual reactions are possible.
Cool and refrigerate untouched cooked mash promptly, covered. Reheat thoroughly if desired, stir to prevent hot spots and cool before feeding.
