One of our favorite things to do each Fall is going apple picking. We team up with friends and head to a local orchard to fill our box with apples. One year I ended up with almost $90 in apples the kids picked so much! Now, we don’t always come home with apples en masse, but we almost always have enough to make an Apple pie or Apple crisp and a few batches of apple sauce. Making apple sauce in the Instant Pot is super easy and when you are nine, ten, or eleven, peeling apples and helping make apple sauce with the apples you helped pick is fun too.

You only need roughly 8 apples or 3 pounds to make a batch of Instant Pot Applesauce. After peeling, you will chop the apples and toss them with the rest of the ingredients except for the water. Then you throw your mixture plus the water in the Instant Pot, turn it on, and walk away. Such an easy process with amazing rewards!

Cooking apple sauce is so very easy is because the amounts for ingredients are totally adjustable. Only have five apples? No big deal! Want to cook twelve apples? Throw them all in! Want more sugar? Add a little more. Want zero sugar? Leave it all out. Instant Pot Apple Sauce can be adjusted to fit your needs.

Homemade apple sauce is a great reward for a job well done. We call that an intrinsic reward. When you sit down at the table to eat your supper and are able to serve the apple sauce you helped make, made from the apples you helped pick, that’s a special moment not soon to be forgotten. Thank goodness we have an Instant Pot to make the whole thing a little easier!

If you are planning an Apple-Themed Supper and you have two Instant Pots, you might want to check out our Apple-Maple Chicken Legs. Yum.
