Ingredients
4
large
Granny Smith apples
, peeled, cored and roughly chopped (or Golden Delicious apples )
4
large
Honeycrisp apples
, peeled, cored and roughly chopped
1
cup
water
1
Tablespoon
fresh lemon juice
(from about 1/2 a lemon)
1/2
teaspoon
ground cinnamon
Instructions
Peel and core apples. I use a johhny apple peeler to do all three steps at once (peel, spice and core).
Add water, lemon juice and cinnamon to instant pot and stir to combine. Add apples and toss to mix.
Secure lid and cook on manual (high pressure) for 8 minutes. Do a controlled quick release or allow the pressure to naturally release.
Mash the apple mixture a few times with a potato masher, if desired. (If you like a smoother texture you could pulse it in the blender.)
Transfer contents to a bowl and allow to cool completely. Stir in more cinnamon, if desired, to taste.
Enjoy warm or cold. Store in the fridge for up to 7-10 days.
