Instant Pot Applesauce

 I forgot to take a photo.  But it was delicious.  Super easy.

Instant Pot Applesauce
Makes about 4-5 cups

Ingredients:
4 large Granny Smith or Golden Delicious apples, peeled and cored, roughly chopped
4 large Honeycrisp apples, peeled and cored, roughly chopped
1 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:
Stir water, lemon juice, and cinnamon in Instant Pot.  Add apples and toss to mix.

Cover and pressure cook on high for 8 minutes.  Release pressure quick or slow (doesn't matter).

Stir for a couple minutes or use an immersion blender if you want a smoother texture.  Stir in more cinnamon or add sugar if needed.  Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.  Enjoy warm or cold.  Will keep covered in the fridge for up to 7-10 days.
