Instant Pot Apple Sauce

This morning I made this instant pot apple sauce after I dropped off the kids at practice. This recipe is as straight forward as it comes and takes less than 30min (this includes prepping, cooking and cooling). This is a quick way to use up apples which are in season and apple sauce makes a great snack, breakfast, or side. I store mine in air tight containers and they keep approximately 2 weeks in the back of the fridge. If you happen to make more than you can finish in 2 weeks, you can also freeze them. However, in our house I rarely have leftovers. Lets get started with this recipe and you will be amazed how quick it is!

Instant Pot Apple Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

8-9 medium organic gala apples (peeled, cored and quartered)
1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice

Directions:

Place the quartered apples into the well of the instant pot.
Add in the lemon juice and the water to the apples.
Use a large spoon to coat the apples with the lemon juice and water.
Set the instant pot to cook for 5 minutes on High Pressure.
Once the indicator on the pot shows the cooking cycle as completed, turn off the pot and allow for a natural release of pressure of your pot. *Make sure that you follow the manufacturer’s directions in allowing the proper pressure release and cooling of your pot.
Use an immersion blender to blend to desired consistency.
