What you need
- 1/2 ripe banana
- 1/4 apple, peeled and cored
- 1 tsp water, to loosen
How to make it
- 1 Steam the apple pieces for 6 to 8 minutes, until a fork goes through easily.
- 2 Mash the steamed apple and the banana together until completely smooth.
- 3 Loosen with a teaspoon of cooled boiled water if it is too thick to spoon.
- 4 Serve at room temperature.
Swaps
Steamed pear or chikoo instead of apple. Papaya needs no steaming at all.
Keeping it
Make it fresh. Mashed banana browns quickly and should not be kept.
