Instant Pot Cinnamon Pear Applesauce
This super easy and versatile applesauce recipe tastes even better after a day or two. It can be enjoyed immediately, however, served alongside savoury dishes such as this Cocoa-Spiced Pork Roast or with cottage cheese or creamy Greek yoghurt for breakfast.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 large apples cored and chopped
- 2 large pears cored and chopped
- ¼ cup water or sugar-free apple juice
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Optional
- 2 tbsp honey preferably local
Instructions
- Combine the apples, pears, water, ground cinnamon, and fresh lemon juice in your Instant Pot® and stir to combine. Add the lid and lock into place. Switch the vent to “Sealing” and set the “Manual” setting to 4 minutes.
- When the cook time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
- Taste and add the honey to sweeten, if desired. Carefully transfer the mixture to a food processor or high-powered blender and blend until smooth. (For chunkier results, use an immersion blender instead).
- Serve immediately, or transfer to airtight containers and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy!
Notes
Tip: For added fibre, do not peel the apples or pear before cooking. The final result will still be incredibly smooth and creamy after blending.
