Main Ingredients
- 3 lb. Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 Tbsp. packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the peeled, cored, and chopped Granny Smith apples, water, packed brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt into the Instant Pot. Stir well to mix all ingredients evenly.
- Pressure Cook: Secure the Instant Pot lid and set the pressure cooker to high pressure. Cook for 5 minutes to soften the apples and blend flavors.
- Release Pressure and Serve: Allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes, then carefully perform a quick release to remove any remaining steam. Remove the lid, stir the applesauce thoroughly, and serve warm or chilled as desired.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree the applesauce after cooking.
- Adjust the brown sugar amount to your preferred sweetness level.
- If you prefer a chunkier applesauce, reduce cooking time by 1-2 minutes.
- You can use other apple varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp for different flavor profiles.
- Store leftover applesauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
