Form Sauce:If you like your applesauce chunky, smash up the apples with a potato masher. If you like it smooth, pulse it in an immersion blender, a food processor or a high-speed blender until smooth.

Tips for Success

You’re almost ready to cook up some awesome Instant Pot applesauce. Here are my top tips and tricks for this recipe!

• 使用正确的苹果：Take caution before you substitute the Honey Crisp or Granny Smith apples for another variety. Some kinds of apples don’t handle heat very well. Safer substitutions include McIntosh, Golden Delicious, Gala and Fuji.
• Don’t Use Bottled Lemon Juice:The best applesauce has the freshest, most authentic flavor. In order to pull that off, I strongly suggest using freshly squeezed lemon juice.
• Can You Overcook Applesauce?You certainly can, and it diminishes the flavor. That’s another reason why I love this recipe – as long as you follow the directions for the 5-minute pressure cook, you can forget about the risk of overcooking your apples. Phew!
• Sweeten it Up:如果你想增加你的即时锅applesauce, you can do so by mixing in cinnamon, honey, maple syrup or sugar to taste.

Serving Suggestions

Whether you want to serve your applesauce by itself as a snack, incorporate it into something else or pair it with other dishes, I’ve got plenty of ideas to get your creativity flowing!

• 汤匙在香草冰淇淋上
• Layer it into aParfait
• Add it to Baked Goods for Extra Moistness
• Put it on Toast
• Serve it withPork Chops
• Swirl it into Oatmeal
• Top it with Nuts or Dried Fruits

You can also use applesauce in many baking recipes as a partial replacement for oil. So for example, if a quick bread recipe called for 1 cup of oil you could use 1/2 cup applesauce and 1/2 cup of oil instead. This is an easy way to make baked goods healthier without sacrificing anything!

How to Store Leftovers

Applesauce was invented to be stored long-term! So it’s super easy to do. Simply keep it in a resealable jar or airtight container in the fridge. It will stay good for up to 2 months.

Can You Freeze Homemade Applesauce?

You sure can. Place your Instant Pot applesauce in a freezer-safe container or storage bag, leaving some extra room for it to expand as it freezes. Use it within 6 months, thawing it out in the fridge before enjoying.
