Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 10 large apples - about 3 pounds (I used Honey Crisp, but you can also use Golden Delicious, and Pink Lady, anything except Granny Smith will work)
- 1/4 cup apple cider or apple juice
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 vanilla bean, split, and seeds scraped from the pod or 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Optional for a sweeter applesauce: 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup maple syrup, or 7 pitted dates
Instructions
- Core the apples and cut them into large chunks (about 2 pieces).
- Add apples, apple juice, cinnamon, vanilla pod, and seeds (or vanilla extract) to the pressure cooker pot and stir to combine. Stir in sweetener of choice, if using.
- Secure the lid and turn the pressure-release knob to a sealed position. Cook at high pressure for 4 minutes.
- When cooking is complete, use a natural release for 5 minutes and then release any remaining pressure.
- For thicker applesauce, use the sauté feature to simmer until desired consistency is achieved.
- Remove the vanilla bean pod. Simply stir for a chunky applesauce or for a very smooth sauce, blend in a pot with an immersion blender (or transfer to a high-speed blender in batches).
