Instant Pot Strawberry Applesauce

Growing up my parents would make applesauce almost every year.  We had a huge apple tree behind our house and our jobs would be to go pick all the apples and then my parents would begin the process of peeling the apples, cooking the apples, and canning them.  The applesauce always turned out delicious but friends, this instant pot strawberry applesauce couldn’t be easier and is just as yummy as the long canning process.  

One Pot Recipe

You only need ONE pot to make this delicious applesauce recipe. You can prepare this in a crockpot but the instant pot makes this recipe come together super quickly. You only need a few simple ingredients for this treat you will want to make time and time again.

• apples
• strawberries
• sugar
• water

RECIPE NOTE: When you first remove the applesauce from the pot it will be a bit watery but as it cools down and you mash the berries and apples together it will thicken. 

How to make Instant Pot Strawberry Applesauce

3. Add fruit to the inner bowl of your instant pot.
4. Pour in water and sugar and mix. Close lid and set to sealing.
5. Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
6. Natural Pressure Release
7. Mash with a potato masher or use an immersion blender until desired consistency is met. We like to keep a few chunks in ours.
