Equipment

  • 1 Instant Pot
  • 1 immersion blender

Ingredients
  

  • 4 lb apples cored and chopped
  • 200 g sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
  • ⅛ teaspoon cloves (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Roughly chop your apples into bite size pieces. There’s no need to remove the skins; they add flavor and fiber. Do core the apples- seeds and stems aren’t necessary.
  • Place your apple pieces, sugar, salt, cinnamon, vanilla (optional) and cloves (optional) in the Instant Pot. Set to pressure cook for 90 minutes. 
  • Once the apples have pressure cooked, carefully vent the steam for about 10 minutes before removing the Instant Pot lid.
  • Use an immersion blender to blend the cooked apples into a puree. 
  • Pour the puree back into the Instant Pot. With the venting nozzle open, set the puree to slow cook for 2-4 hours. Check the consistency of the mixture after 2 hours and adjust according to your texture preferences. The slow cooking time will vary each time according to the moisture content of the apples.
