Ingredients
- 20 smallish Gala apples or your choice of apples
- 1/2 cup apple cider or apple juice
- juice from 1/2 a lemon
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Core, peel and cut into slices the apples.
- Add the apples to your Instant Pot. Be sure the apple slices do not pass the line on your Instant Pot insert for the maximum cooking level.
- Add the apple cider, lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon to the apples.
- Put the lid on your Instant Pot, with the valve set to "sealing".
- On the "manual" setting, set your Instant Pot to cook for 5 minutes. My Instant Pot took about 15 minutes to get to "high" pressure and then begin cooking for the 5 minutes.
- Allow your Instant Pot to natural release the pressure.
- Once the pressure is released, remove the lid. Either break down the apples with a spatula or wooden spoon, or for a smoother applesauce, blend the apples with an immersion blender.
- Transfer the applesauce to an air tight container and refrigerate overnight before serving.
