Allergen note
Bramley apples are generally well-tolerated, but introduce cooked and sieved pulp initially to monitor for rare oral allergy syndrome.
How to serve
For infants (6+ months), serve a smooth purée of cooked Bramley apple; start with 1-2 tablespoons. For toddlers, offer soft, cooked apple pieces as a finger food, with a portion roughly the size of their palm.
Preparation
Steam or roast Bramley apples until soft, then puree for infants or mash for toddlers, ensuring all seeds and skin are removed to prevent choking.
Texture and choking risk
Bramley apples are a choking risk; always cook until soft and mash or purée them for infants, and ensure toddlers are seated and supervised while eating.
Starting ages are typical guidance for healthy, full-term babies who show signs of readiness. Your paediatrician may advise differently, especially where there is a family history of allergy.
