Description
Instant Pot Applesauce is simple to make with a pressure cooker, ready in under an hour, tastes great, and is a good way to use up a bunch of apples.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup water
- 4 pounds Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and cut into quarters
- ¼ cup sugar
- pinch of salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Everything in the pot: Pour the water into an Instant Pot or other pressure cooker. Add the apples, sprinkle with sugar, salt, and cinnamon, and stir to coat them with the sugar and spices.
- Pressure cook for 3 minutes with a natural release: Lock the lid and pressure cook at high pressure for 3 minutes (Use Manual, Pressure Cook, or Pressure Cook - Custom mode in an Instant Pot). When the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally; this will take about 15 minutes. (You can quick release any remaining pressure after 15 minutes if you are in a hurry.)
- Mash or puree: Unlock the lid, tilting it away from you to avoid the hot steam. For chunkier applesauce, mash the apples (right in the pot) with a potato masher. For smooth applesauce, puree the apples (right in the pot) with a stick blender. Serve warm, or refrigerate to serve cold. Enjoy!
