  • 2 pears
  • 5 four-inch long cinnamon sticks
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ½ cup water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Core the apples and pears, and cut into large pieces. No need to peel them. Place in Instant Pot.
  2. Add all other ingredients; nutmeg, salt, lemon juice and water. Mix ingredients and top with cinnamon sticks.
  3. Secure the lid and make sure vent is set to Sealing. Cook on Manual for 5 minutes. When Instant Pot beeps, allow for a Natural Release for 15 minutes.
  4. At this point, you can release any remaining pressure and open the lid. Use an immersion blender to process sauce to desired consistency. Alternatively, you can move contents to a blender or food mill to process. You may have to work in batches.
  5. Store applesauce in glass jars. Extra sauce can be refrigerated, canned, or frozen (be sure to leave space in the top of jar for expansion).
