Instant Pot Applesauce
Ingredients
- 6 to 8 apples medium, we recommend a combination of granny smith and gala apples
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon optional
Instructions
- Peel and cut apples into 2 inch chunks. Place apples and all other ingredients into the Instant Pot.
- Close Instant Pot lid,ensuring the vent is in the sealed position. Press the "manual" button and adjust to high pressure and set the timer to 8 minutes. The Instant Pot will preheat before beginning the cooking time.
- Once the timer goes off, let sit for about 2-3 minutes. Turn steam vent to release pressure and carefully release the steam and remove lid.
- Drain off any excess water. Place cooked apples in a mixture and mix on low until desired applesauce consistency is reached - smooth or chunky! Allow to cool slightly before serving.

no instant pot here…how else would you recommend cooking this applesauce…I am on weight watchers and appreciate zero point recipes. Thanks
Janel, Here you go https://skinnyms.com/slow-cooker-skinny-applesauce/. You can also make this on the stovetop. Just cook on low heat until the apples are tender enough to be mashed. 🙂
So I was looking for the note you left! Do you water bathe and can this recipe. I just got an IP and like to can. Can you can this and other stuff made in the IP?
Hi Pat, you can preserve and can this recipe or any of your other regular recipes made in the Instant Pot just like those made on the stove.
