The two best fruit starters come together with a little bonus flavour: cinnamon. Try Gala, Fuji or Pink Lady apples and Nashi pears. If a pear is totally ripe it won’t need cooking at all. Both are great sources of fibre and vitamin C. Pears are especially good for constipated babies. Source: kidspot

STOVE TOP OR OVEN: Peel, core and cut the apple into small pieces.
Bring a cup of water to boil in a small saucepan and add the apple. Turn the heat down a little and cook until soft, around 10 minutes. Don’t let the water boil dry; add a little more if you need to. Meanwhile peel and deseed the pear.
Puree until smooth in a blender; add a little extra water if required. Sprinkle some cinnamon into the puree and stir to blend.
MICROWAVE: Peel, core and cut the apple into small pieces. Place in a microwave-safe container with a little bit of water (you will not need the whole cup of water for the microwave method).
Cover with cling wrap, leaving a corner free to allow steam to vent and cook on HIGH for a minute or until soft.
Meanwhile peel and deseed the pear. Puree until smooth in a blender; add a little extra water if required. Sprinkle some cinnamon into the puree and stir to blend.
