Ingredients
- 6 pounds apples unpeeled
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Wash, core, and slice the apples. Cut out any bad spots, as well.
- Put the sliced apples in your Instant Pot.
- Add the lemon juice, water, and cinnamon to the Instant Pot, as well. If you want to mix everything together, you can; but there’s no need to until after it all cooks.
- Put the lid in place on the Instant Pot. Press Manual or Pressure Cook for 10 minutes.
- When it’s finished cooking, allow the pressure cooker to do a natural release.
- If it seems like the applesauce will be a bit watery, drain a bit of the water before mashing the apples.*
- Purée the mixture with an immersion blender, or mash the apples with a potato masher.** It’s up to you how you prefer the texture or consistency.
- Preserve using your preferred method, whether you choose to freeze or can the applesauce.***
Notes
*You can drink the apple juice if you choose to drain the apples before mashing.
**If you want to eliminate any tiny pieces of peeling in the sauce, you may want to blend with a regular blender. It’s up to you how you prefer the texture and consistency.
***If you choose to can it, Ball has wonderful Canning Guides to guide you through the process. You can also consult the Ball Blue Book Guide to Preserving.
