Applesauce

By cdonhasey

Ingredients

• 10 large Jonagold apples*, peeled, cored, and quartered or sliced
• 1/4 cup apple juice or water
• 1/4 cup sugar, optional**
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Place the apple pieces, apple juice, sugar and cinnamon in the pressure cooker and stir to combine. Select High Pressure and set cook time for 4 minutes. (It took about about 10 minutes to come up to pressure.)

After timer beeps, turn off pressure cooker, wait 5 minutes and then use a quick pressure release. Carefully remove the lid. (You could also use a natural pressure release, but I'm impatient.)

Stir apples, breaking up large chunks, until you've achieved your desired consistency. (Or you can take the easy way like I did and blend the apples with an immersion blender in the pot.)

Makes approximately 4 cups of applesauce.
