Once cooked, use an immersion blender to get the applesauce to the consistency you want. I went all the way smooth with this one but next time, I may leave it with a bit more texture. This smooth version works really well stirred into oatmeal or as a puree for apple muffins!

Easy Instant Pot Cinnamon Applesauce
Ingredients
- 3 pounds apples, skin on (I used Gala)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Wash, core, and slice the apples into large wedges.
- Add all ingredients to the Instant Pot pot. Set the valve to "sealing." Start the IP in manual mode for 5 minutes at high pressure. Let it work and release the pressure naturally. Once the pressure is released, open the top using an oven mitt to protect your hands from the steam.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the apple mixture to the desired pureed consistency. Feel free to leave it chunky or make it smooth as shown here. Serve it warm or cold - as is with a spoon or use it to top oats!
Notes
Storage tip:
