- Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
- Allow the pressure to naturally release.

Notes
*I have tried this recipe with a combination of sweet and tart apples and all sweet apples. Our family is divided on which is best. We are used to unsweetened applesauce, so we don’t need any extra sweeteners. I always keep the peels on the apples because it’s easier, more nutritious, and my Vitamix blends the applesauce so smooth they aren’t noticeable. You can peel them if you prefer.
