Ingredients
Apples
- 2 lbs. Granny Smith apples
- 2 lbs. Honeycrisp apples
Other Ingredients
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 4 tablespoons organic cane sugar
- 3/4 cup water
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: Peel the apples, remove their cores, and chop them into small pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Add ingredients to the Instant Pot: Place the chopped apples, water, sugar, and cinnamon sticks into the Instant Pot and stir gently to combine all ingredients.
- Pressure cook: Seal the vent and set the Instant Pot to pressure cook on high for 8 minutes. Once cooking is finished, perform a quick release to release the steam safely.
- Blend the apple sauce: Use an immersion blender directly in the pot to puree the apple mixture until you reach your desired consistency, whether smooth or slightly chunky.
- Serve: Serve the apple sauce warm right away or refrigerate and enjoy chilled later as preferred.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of cane sugar based on your sweetness preference or the tartness of the apples.
- You can substitute other apple varieties if desired but maintain the total weight of 4 lbs.
- To make the apple sauce smoother, blend for a longer time using the immersion blender.
- The apple sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a thicker sauce, allow it to cool uncovered in the fridge to let excess moisture evaporate slightly.
