Homemade Apple Sauce Made Easy: No Peeling Required!

[corrina98]

I made apple sauce! No peeling!
5lbs of apples (sliced and pitted), 1 cup water, 1 TBS cinnamon (we like a lot).
5min HP, quick release.
I used my new immersion blender to take care of the peels.
My 7 year old says it's better than the grocery store kind so I'm calling it a win!

Great job! I love IP applesauce.

Definitely going to try this thanks for sharing

That's it.?? That's all you need?? Those are the only steps for the instapot??? Omg I need to try. Me & my son love applesauce

 

[courtneykillian]

@ieltasap it is absolutely the best! A tiny bit (teaspoon?) of lemon juice livens up the flavor a little bit, too

Did you can in a water bath or freeze the jars for later usage?

 

[mariahwmfc]

@lehan I'm curious about this as well. The recipe looks so good

 

[sammy1974]

@lehan ditto. It's just me & my husband so I'd like to know about freezing it as well

@sammy1974
Have made lots of fresh applesauce & would water bath it, forgot all the details. Now I am comfortable with making the sauce & placing it in a hot canning jar, place the lid on it, it will eventually ping knowing you got a good seal. Once cooled I would PLACE THE JARS IN MY FREEZER FOR LATER USE.
To be safe call your local extension office for steps to can.
I am freezing lots of things in canning jars, like how they line up in my stand up freezer. Be sure to label the jar & date.

Just to reiterate, Ann's method is only for freezing, not shelf storage.

@elijaht
If not refrigerated for immediate use, MUST BE FROZEN.

@elijaht
Thank you making the clearer Robin. Sorry if any confusion.

 

[ajamure]

@sammy1974 Just make less. You can use as many or as few apples as you want.

Thanks so much for sharing the process too! Blessings!

 

[laimkid]

Home-made is the best!

 

[proxy6]

Same recipe we use except we peel ours

 

[orthodoxdavid]

Now let it ferment for a few days for all the healthy benefits!

 

[zankerh]

@orthodoxdavid okay, I’ll bite. I make and can applesauce, make ACV from the apple scraps, and I ferment things, ie sauerkraut. I didn’t know fermenting applesauce was a thing! Can you share? (My gut loves fermented anything!)
