Homemade Applesauce

Step 1

Put peeled and quartered apples in the Instant Pot. Add all remaining ingredients, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.

Step 2

Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 3 minutes.

Step 3

When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.

Step 4

Use a slotted spoon to transfer cooked apples to a large-capacity blender or food processor.

Step 5

Process until smooth and uniform. Add additional pot juices 1/4 cup at a time to achieve desired consistency.

Step 6

Serve warm or cold with additional cinnamon and/or cinnamon sticks for garnish.
