Skin and seeds go in my puree
I'm sure I've read somewhere the seeds and skin are where the main nutrients are so I tend to keep the seeds in with mine, and definitely skin on, before cooking the apples and pears. They get pulverised super smooth in my Vitamix and it feels extra awesome knowing my little man is getting that in his food as well. #justmemaybe

Choose your favorite apple and pear combination
This is a lovely way to make your baby adore fruits. Surprise them by mixing various apple and pear varieties, not only for flavor but texture. Sure, it'll become mush, but even mush has their not-so-subtle differences in texture and graininess, i.e. the super crunchy and watery Korean pears. Some apples have powerful flavors as well, so be aware that you don't spoil your little one's palate that they'll turn their nose up at regular ol' Red Delicious apples or Anjou pears.
