Easy Instant Pot Applesauce

Naturally sweetened and cooked in 6 minutes, this is the easiest instant pot applesauce recipe you will ever make!

You will need:

• Instant Pot
• 2 Pint Mason Jars
• Pairing Knife – I prefer to pare the apples, but you can also use a peeler.
• Ladle
• Canning Funnel
• Immersion Blender, optional – If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can use a food processor or set the cook time for 3 or 4 more minutes until the apples fall completely apart.

Ingredients:

• 6 Pounds of Apples – I used Gala, but pick your favorite.
• 1 Cup of Water

Instructions:

• Rinse the apples.
• Peel or pare them all.
• Cut out the core or use a corer.
• Cut each apple piece in half and place them into the instant pot.
• Add the water.
• Seal the instant pot lid and set it on high pressure (3P) for 6 minutes.
• Once it is done, let it naturally release pressure for a few minutes before manually releasing. You may want to toss a towel over the steam vent to keep it from spewing everywhere.
• Blend with an immersion blender to your preferred consistency. I like mine a little chunky.
• Place the canning funnel into the jars and ladle the applesauce in.
• Let it cool before refrigerating. This recipe yields 8 cups.
