Peel and roughly chop apples.
12 apples
Combine all ingredients in inner pot of the Instant Pot.
1 1/2 cups apple juice, ½ cup sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Close lid and turn pressure valve to sealed. Cook on manual high pressure for eight minutes.
Let pressure release naturally then carefully remove the lid.
Use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to mash the cooked apples into applesauce. You can leave it as chunky as you like.
Serve warm or refrigerate and serve cold.

Use a food mill or an immersion blender to process the applesauce into a finer texture if you like.
If you prefer a plain applesauce, simply skip the cinnamon. And feel free to add more if you like a really strong cinnamon flavor. If you like a little bit of tang to your applesauce, squeeze a little fresh lemon juice on top for a little pop of flavor.
