Instant pot applesauce

Step 1

Peel and core apples. I use a johhny apple peeler to do all three steps at once (peel, spice and core).

Step 2

Add water, lemon juice and cinnamon to instant pot and stir to combine. Add apples and toss to mix.

Step 3

Secure lid and cook on manual (high pressure) for 8 minutes. Do a controlled quick release or allow the pressure to naturally release.

Step 4

Mash the apple mixture a few times with a potato masher, if desired. (If you like a smoother texture you could pulse it in the blender.) 

Step 5

Transfer contents to a bowl and allow to cool completely. Stir in more cinnamon, if desired, to taste. 

Step 6

Enjoy warm or cold. Store in the fridge for up to 7-10 days.
