Ingredients
- 2 1/2 lb apples, peeled, cored and cut into wedges
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 cups apple juice
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- Pinch kosher salt
Preparation
Step 1
In a pressure cooker, combine apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, apple
juice, lemon juice and salt. Cover the cooker and lock into place, then
place cooker on the stove over high heat. Bring pressure cooker up to
high pressure, then immediately start timer for 4 minutes and reduce the
heat to maintain pressure.
After 4 minutes, remove pressure cooker from the heat and release
pressure using the natural method (in other words, just let closed
pressure cooker rest until the pressure gauge indicates the steam
pressure has been released, about 10 minutes). Carefully open lid away
from you. With a wooden spoon, stir apples, breaking up large chunks,
until you've achieved the desired consistency. If you like a very smooth
applesauce, you can put the mixture in a food processor or put it
through a food mill.
