Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 pounds apples any combination of Granny Smith, Braeburn, Gala or Fuji
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup molasses
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar lightly packed
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
Instructions
- Peel and quarter the apples, removing the cores. Place peeled apples in the Instant Pot inner liner.
- Add remaining ingredients and stir.
- Set the valve to Sealing. Cook on High pressure for 20 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally (this will take 15-20 minutes).
- After the pressure is released, carefully open the lid and give it a stir.
- Pour contents into a blender jar and blend until smooth (make sure you follow manufacturer instructions for blending hot foods). Or use an immersion blender right in the pot. You can leave it a little chunky if you prefer.
- If you like a thicker sauce, continue cooking on the Slow Cooker function on Low. Cook for an additional 30 minutes - 2 hours, until you reach desired thickness.
- Place in jars and allow to cool before refrigerating.
Notes
- You can leave the peels on the apples if you prefer more texture.
- Keeps in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks in airtight jars.
- Can be frozen up to 3 months in freezer-safe containers.
