ADD TO INSTANT POT
- Add apple pieces to inner pot of an Instant Pot. Add water, lemon juice and cinnamon and stir.
PRESSURE COOK
- Secure lid and set the valve to “sealing”. Set to pressure cook on high for 5 minutes.
- When pressure cooking is finished, let pressure release on it’s own for 15-20 minutes, releasing any remaining pressure after that amount of time.
BLEND
- Remove lid. Use an immersion blender (or transfer to a regular blender/food processor) to puree until smooth.
TASTE AND COOL
- Taste applesauce, and if not sweet enough, stir in additional brown sugar.
- Let cool, then place in airtight containers, seal, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- ** 1 1/2 lbs of apples is about 4 medium to large apples**
- Add all ingredients to a slow cooker, stir, cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours.
- Blend to desired texture.
- Add all ingredients to a pot, stir, and heat over MED/MED HIGH heat. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until soft.
- Blend to desired texture.
