Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 lbs apples Granny Smith, Cortland, Johnathan, Rome, Golden Delicious
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the apples by coring, peeling (optional) and chopping into quarters.
- Place the chopped apples in the Instant Pot. Add water and lemon juice. Stir.
- Close the Instant Pot lid, set the vent to "Sealing," and select the "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" function. Set the timer to cook for 15 minutes on high pressure.
- Once cooking is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes. Then manually release any remaining pressure.
- Mash, immersion blender or transfer the contents to a regular blender to blend until smooth. Add more water in small amounts until applesauce has thinned to your liking.
- Allow the applesauce to cool before transferring it to clean, airtight jars or containers. Refrigerate for short-term use or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
Storing: Let your applesauce cool and then transfer to glass mason jars or other airtight containers. Seal the lid tightly and store in the fridge for 2-3 weeks. It can be stored in the freezer for 6-12 months.
