    Make Your Own Freezer Food Pouches

    October 19, 2016 by burntapple Leave a Comment

    These freezer applesauce pouches are simple and easy for snacks on the go, baby food or school lunches! 

    Oh glorious school lunches. Our generation has made a Mom's job so much easier with the invention of the disposable food pouch. I LOVE them! Feeding my babies was so much easier and less messy.

    But they are EXPENSIVE!

    But I do buy them a lot because they are simple for road trips and a good healthy alternative to chips and candy.

    So buy them I do.

    And then I think there has to be a better way. So I figure it out and then share how to make freezer applesauce pouches with you.

    TIPS AND TRICKS:

    • Start with our recipe for slow cooker cinnamon applesauce. Allow it to cool before filling the pouches. 1 batch fills about 12 4 oz pouches. We usually double the recipe. You can also use your own favorite puree. We have some puree ideas in the links below under "recipes."
    • Store the filled pouches in the freezer. We store ours in a big Tupperware container and grab them out for lunches. You can store them up to two months in the freezer.
    • Store filled pouches in the refrigerator for several days.
    • Food pouch systems are great if you are going to be making a lot or will be filling them with different types of fruits. They are OPTIONAL to buy the whole system, but I can tell you I had to run to two stores to find a .97 funnel to fill the pouches and the system may be easier to buy if you are looking to do a lot of baby food or kids food in the future. Definetely a time saver Another friend suggested using an empty ketchup bottle to squeeze the applesauce into the pouches.
    • Do you want disposable or reusable food pouches? Reusable food pouches are nice for school lunches. We found this brand that we liked because if the kids forget to bring them home, there are plenty of extras left to fill them with. Disposable are nice to have on hand too because you can throw them away afterwards and are great for picnics or road trips.

    About Me

    minimal ingredient recipes with five ingredients or less and ready in under thirty minutes! many recipes are gluten free, dairy free and FODMAP friendly too!

    I've been making over recipes since I was ten. Back then I wasn't so great at it and created everything from rubber cakes for my Dad's birthday to rock muffins that put a hole in the wall.

    Diagnosed with colitis ten years ago and with three young children I had to learn to cook. But life was busy and there wasn't a lot of time to cook or figure out what I could eat!

    Burnt Apple became my personal coffee shop--a place to share, talk and vent! I share minimal ingredient recipes with five ingredients or less and ready in under thirty minutes!

    Welcome home...to a REAL home! One that is busy, on the go and doesn't have time to sit all day in the kitchen!

    All of our recipes include adaptations for a variety of different dietary needs. Most of our recipes are gluten free and many are dairy free and FODMAP friendly too! All recipes are easily labeled for you.
