Hello,
Hope you are doing good.
Yes, the nutritional value of apple reduces when boiled, so it's better to feed your baby vegetables (pureed / strained).
Avoid fruit juices as it just adds extra calories without the balanced nutrition (nutrients gets lost while juicing)
Next Steps
Please feel free to message me personally regarding the type of diet that should be given to a 6-8 months old baby and how to get most of the nutrients.

For a six month old infant mashed banana is advisable. Yes, apple loses its nutrients when cooked, also if you peel the apple, there is again loss of nutrients. So avoid giving apple to your baby.
You can consult me personally of you have any other diet related query
