Fresh Applesauce – Instant Pot

I just got my Instant Pot and had to cook something!  I was so exciting after seeing so many rave reviews for the Instant Pot.   They are true .. this cooked in just 4 minutes!  Amazing!  I think I’m in love with this all-in-one pot!

It just happens that tomorrow morning I’m going to be making blueberry applesauce pancakes.  I was also completely out of applesauce since I used it all the other day.  So the scene was set and I was destined to make applesauce this morning.  I prefer my applesauce with cinnamon so I took that option as you can see from the dark color of the sauce but I did leave out the sugar.  With nice sweet apples, the sugar is not necessary and just adds points to this 0 point bowl of deliciousness.
