Instant Pot Spiced Applesauce
Ingredients:
5.5 lbs apples McIntosh preferred
2 teaspoons cinnamon powder
1 teaspoon ginger powder
½ teaspoon clove powder
1½ tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice from half a medium size lemon
Directions:
Wash apples thoroughly to remove the dust. Use a paring knife to remove the ends, core, and black spots (if any). Cut the apples into quarters or smaller slices and place them into the pressure cooker.
Add the rest of the ingredients, if desired. Follow the instructions of the pressure cooker and cook 5 minutes with very low heat. Let pressure drop on its own.
Remove the lid. Blend with an electric hand blender until smooth. This applesauce can be stored in a refrigerator up to a week or in a freezer for a much longer time.
