Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 lbs. apples, cored and chopped into 1-inch chunks (If making chunky applesauce, peel your apples)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 to 2 Tbsp. brown sugar, optional

Instruction

  • Add apples, water and cinnamon to the instant pot. Stir so apples are evenly coated with cinnamon. Seal and set to cook for on manual high pressure for 5 minutes. Natural release pressure for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, turn valve to release any remaining pressure.
  • If you want a chunky applesauce, mash with a potato masher until you reach the desired consistency. If you want a smooth applesauce, blend until smooth. Taste applesauce. If you want it sweeter add brown sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach desired sweetness. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 10 days. Freeze up to 2 months.
