How To Make Applesauce In The Instant Pot
You'll find a detailed ingredient list and step-by-step instructions in the recipe below, but let's go over the basics of making perfect homemade applesauce:
Applesauce Ingredients
Make this top-rated applesauce recipe with just four ingredients:
- Apples: Four apples will make about four servings of applesauce.
- Water: You’ll need about ¾ cups of water to cook the apples.
- Sugar: White sugar sweetens things up.
- Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon lends welcome warmth.
1
Cut the apples.
Hot take: I don’t peel them! Apple peels are delicious. I just cut the apples into quarters or chunks and toss ’em in the Instant Pot.
2
Add cinnamon and water.
I do two cinnamon sticks (or, in this case, some shards of cinnamon stick left at the bottom of the bag) and 1/2 cup water.
3
Cook and mash.
I cook the applesauce for 5 minutes – then it’s a quick hybrid mash/blend with the immersion blender.

You’re done! Yum.
This is just such a delight in our household. Eaten warm, cold, with a meal, or on its own. Simplicity for the win!
