2. Mash the Banana: While the apple is boiling, peel the banana and cut it into small slices. Use a spoon or a fork to mash it until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. This will be the base of your mash.

3. Mash the Apple: Once the apple is soft and boiled, take it out of the water and place it in a separate bowl. Mash it with a spoon or a fork to create a smooth texture, just like you did with the banana.

4. Mix the Banana and Apple: Add the mashed banana to the mashed apple and mix them together. Ensure both ingredients are thoroughly combined to create a smooth, soft mash.

5. Serve: Your Mashed Banana Apple is ready! Serve it warm or at room temperature. It’s perfect as a nutritious snack or meal for babies aged 6 months and above.

Tips:

• You can adjust the consistency by adding more or less water while boiling the apple, depending on whether you want it thicker or runnier.
• Make sure both the banana and apple are ripe for optimal taste and texture.
• You can also experiment with adding a pinch of cinnamon for a mild flavor twist (but be sure to avoid this for babies under 1 year old to avoid allergens).

This simple yet nutritious recipe is ideal for young children or as a light, healthy snack for adults looking for a refreshing option! Enjoy this easy, wholesome mash that brings together the natural sweetness of banana and apple in every bite.
