Applesauce Pressure Cooker

5 Organic Apples (I used 1 granny smith and 4 honey crisp), cored and chopped (I left the skins on for the fiber), make sure you scrub them clean, try and get organic as much as possible for less pesticides on the apple.

1/4 cup distilled water or bottled water

1/8 tsp cinnamon

1/8 tsp nutmeg

1/8 tsp kosher salt

1 TBls pure maple syrup

1/2 TBls fresh lemon juice

Mix everything in a measuring cup and stir.

Add the liquid to the pressure cooker, then add the chopped apples, stir.

Put the lid on and set it to high, pressure on.

Set the timer to pressure cook for 5 minutes.

When it beeps let it naturally depressurize for 5 minutes.

After the 5 minutes release any left pressure in the pot.

Open the lid.

I used a strainer and strained out the liquid.

I put the apple chunks in a large mason jar.

I used my immersion blender to blend up the apples until smooth.

I like my applesauce smooth. If you like it chunky then don't blend.

I cooled the jar on the counter, then put it in the refrigerator to cool off and thicken up.

I saved the liquid from the apples incase it got too thick after it cools.

If it isn't sweet enough, after it cools you can add honey to make it as sweet as you like. Just add in a little at a time, stir and taste.

You can double the recipe if you want to make a larger batch.

You can keep this applesauce in your refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.

You can freeze this applesauce in containers or ziplock bags for months.

Enjoy
