Fall is the best time for Instant Pot applesauce! Make the most of your apple haul with this sweet-tart, cinnamon-spiced snack or dessert made in the pressure cooker. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fill your kitchen with the smell of apples simmering in cinnamon! <\/strong>With this recipe for homemade applesauce, you can walk away from your pot and let the pressure cooker do the work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At my house, I love to make a big batch of Instant Pot applesauce. I keep it on hand for a healthy afterschool snack or a low-sugar dessert. It\u2019s especially wonderful fresh out of the pressure cooker, but you can serve it hot or cold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Update:<\/strong> Apple season is here again, so we\u2019ve updated our applesauce Instant Pot post with new photos and info, including the best apples for applesauce. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n This applesauce recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This recipe is easy to customize!<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n We usually take the skins off because my kids don\u2019t like them in the sauce. However, feel free to leave all or some of the skins on. An apple peeler<\/a> is a great tool to make short work of a pile of apples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After pressure cooking, you can blend the sauce your desired smoothness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The key to balanced applesauce is using both sweet and tart apples<\/strong>, to ensure it\u2019s not overly sweet or sour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n My favorite apples to cook with are Golden Delicious (sweet) and Granny Smith (tart). However, there are dozens of delicious apple varieties<\/a> you can find at your local grocery store or farmer’s market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83c\udf4e Sweet apples include<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83c\udf4f More tart apples include <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u26a0\ufe0f Note:<\/strong> If possible, avoid Red Delicious\u2014they\u2019re not the best for making applesauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have that true apple flavor, this Instant Pot applesauce is a blank template!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Add cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, berries, or a mix of different fruits. You can also add more sugar or take some out depending on your tastes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also add other types of fruits!<\/strong> Try our Instant Pot Pear Applesauce recipe<\/a> or our Strawberry Applesauce in our Electric Pressure Cooker Cookbook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For serving, add crunch with chopped walnuts or a drizzle of cream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As written, this recipe makes 4 cups of applesauce. You can double or 1.5x it if you like, though you may need a larger pressure cooker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You will also need to use a longer natural pressure release since apples can foam while cooking. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2757\ufe0f Safety Note:<\/strong> If any liquid comes out of the steam release valve, immediately close the valve and let the pot sit for 30 seconds, then try again. Do this as often as needed until the pressure is released. This is called an intermittent pressure release<\/a>, and it prevents overflows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2019Tis the season for sweet and savory apple recipes. Here are some of my family\u2019s favorite ways to cook with apples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you LOVE this recipe? <\/strong><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
