How to Make Applesauce in an Instant Pot
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes plus time for pressure to build
- Total Time: 7 minute
- Category: Fruit
- Method: Instant Pot
Ingredients
1 InstantPot
15 Apples, we used Golden Delicious (Peeled, cored, and quartered)
2 Tablespoons Grassfed Butter
2 Tablespoons Coconut Sugar
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
Instructions
Place all ingredients in your Instant Pot and set the manual setting to 10 minutes.
Once the pressure builds and the 10 minutes (finally!) counts down, release the pressure.
I pour the applesauce into a large bowl and mash the apples with a potato masher until semi-smooth. (Some have said they taste a metallic taste when using a metal potato masher in the metal Instant Pot insert.) Cooking the apples for 10 minutes makes this step really simple. You can also use a hand mixer for even smoother applesauce.
Adjust the cinnamon and sweetener to your liking at this stage. I like to enjoy some applesauce warm…but my family prefers it cold. 🙂
