Instant Pot Applesauce is the speedy way to enjoy delicious, homemade applesauce! This easy applesauce recipe tastes amazing and cooks in under 30 minutes. The whole family will love this comforting, cozy applesauce!
Peel apples. Halve and core them and cut them into chunks (no need to be perfect)
Place chunks in instant pot and pour water, lemon juice, vanilla and cinnamon on top.
Lock the lid on the pressure cooker and make sure the valve is set to seal. Cook for 5 minutes at HIGH PRESSURE. When the cook time is up let the pressure naturally release for 20 minutes. Manually release any remaining pressure.
For chunky applesauce use a potato masher. For a smoother applesauce use an immersion blender directly in the pot until smooth!
Taste the applesauce while it’s still warm and mix in 1 tbsp of sugar (at a time) if desired. You may not even want any!
