Ingredients

  • 4 pounds apples, any variety, peeled, cored, and chopped (8-10 apples)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients, plus ¾ cup water, to the Instant Pot or pressure cooker.

  2. Close lid and make sure vent is closed. Set to cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.

  3. When done pressure cooking, wait 10 minutes for a natural pressure release. Then safely open the vent to release remaining pressure. *Be very careful because some apple sauce might spurt out of the vent. I held a paper towel in an oven mitt over the vent.

  4. If you prefer a chunkier sauce, mash apples with a potato masher. If you prefer a smoother sauce, allow sauce to cool a little and then process in a blender or food processor.
