Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 inches of water to a boil. Place all of the ingredients into a steamer basket, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes or until apples and broccoli can be easily pricked with a fork. Let cool slightly. Reserve steamer water.
  2. To serve as a finger food or Baby-Led Weaning - place on a plate and serve to baby. I like to gently smash the cooked beans so they are a little easier for your baby to grip.
