Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, and sliced (about 6 cups)
- 4 Honeycrisp apples peeled, cored, and sliced (about 6 cups)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar optional
Instructions
- Add apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, and water to the Instant Pot®.
- Close the lid, turn the knob to Sealing.
- Press Manual or Pressure Cook button and adjust time to 10 minutes.
- When the timer beeps, allow 15 minutes to naturally release the pressure, then remove the lid.
- Stir the applesauce until well combined, then carefully taste. Add up to 1/4 cup sugar or more, depending on your taste. The amount of sugar you use will vary on the sweetness and tartness of your apples.
Notes
This recipe uses an extra long pressure cooking time so the apples dissolve completely, making blending or mashing almost unnecessary. If you'd like to cook for a shorter amount of time, cook for 3-5 minutes on high pressure for chunkier applesauce.
