Instant Pot Applesauce

Ingredients:

2 lb Gala apple slices (or 2 lbs any apple of choice)
1/2 cup water (or apple juice/cider)
1 Tbsp sugar, optional
2 tsp cinnamon, optional
1/2 lemon, juiced, optional

Directions:

Start by peeling your apples. For about 1 quart of applesauce, you’ll need about 2 lbs of apples.

Toss your apples into the bottom of the pressure cooker and add 1/2 cup of water. Or for a deeper flavor use apple juice or apple cider.

Add 1 sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.

Close the Instant Pot and pressure cook (manual) for 6 minutes. Once it is done, allow it to Natural Release for 6 minutes. Then quick release until the pressure is out.

Open the pressure cooker and blend with an immersion blender, or transfer to a food processor until desired consistency.
