Instant Pot Applesauce

Ingredients

• 8 large Gala apples*
• 1/3 cup orange juice
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or 1 cinnamon stick)

Steps

1. 1

   First, core the apple and then chop them into thirds. Transfer the apples to the Instant Pot.

2. 2

   Add the orange juice and cinnamon into the pot and toss the ingredients together.

3. 3

   Cover the Instant Pot and make sure the pressure valve is turned to seal.

4. 4

   Cook the apples for 6 minutes on high pressure. It will take a little while for your Instant Pot to build pressure and start counting down.

5. 5

   Quick release the pressure. Uncover the Instant Pot. The apples should be very soft. Use a handheld immersion blender* to pulse the cooked apples into applesauce.

6. 6

   When the applesauce has reached the desired consistency, transfer the applesauce into a glass container and let it cool.

7. 7

   Cover and place in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
