  I honestly hate making apple baby food (that's the only thing I buy).  I just buy regular organic apple sauce.     Sorry I'm not much help!

  I've heard Gala apples work well.  I make most of J's food but buy the natural applesauce.  It doesn't have any added sugar and I found it to be more cost-effective than baking my own apples.

  I also buy the No sugar added applesauce. I have also found it to be cheaper than doing myself like pp stated.

  I've made it a few times...and used different apples each time.  You can pretty much use whatever you have IMO.

  I've used a bunch of types and DD has liked them all, so I can't think of any specific names. About a month ago I stopped making apples though and now I just give DD the no sugar added apple sauce.

  The sweet apples are the best. Gala, Pink Lady, Honey Crisp, etc.

  Don't use granny smith or other baking apples b/c they don't puree as well. Mason eats a small pink lady apple with breakfast every morning and I just boil it with a little cinnamon in a small saucer until I can mash with a fork.

  apples are part of the "dirty dozen" so it's recommended you go organic.  and, its cheaper to buy organic apple sauce than a bunch of organic apples.

  whole foods has a big thing of organic applesauce (only ingredient is apples) on sale for only $2.99 right now.

  My baby cookbook said red delicious were good - that's what I used and it came out well.
