I show you how to make applesauce in the instant pot in this simple tutorial. Plus grab a free printable label to make it look pretty.
The Instant Pot is a staple in my kitchen. Normally I am not one to give up precious counter top real estate, but for something with as much versatility as a pressure cooker, I am willing to make an exception.
The other day, after finding the 10th half eaten apple laying around the house, I put my beloved appliance to the task of making homemade applesauce.
I made the whole process super easy by using a stainless steel food mill. With this method you can throw the apples straight into the instant pot without peeling, coring and cutting them. I also love this method because the applesauce has a nice smooth consistency once it has gone through the mill.
Of course, if you do not have a food mill, you can use them same process but peel, core and cut the apples into chunks prior to cooking.
Ingredients
Apples (any variety will do)
Cinnamon
Process
Wash the apples thoroughly and add them to the Instant Pot.
For 10-12 apples add 1/2 cup filtered water. For a 6 quart Instant Pot full of apples, add 3/4 cup to 1 cup filtered water.
The apples release a lot of liquid during the cooking process, so I find that it is best to use a very small amount of liquid.
Cook on high pressure for 30 minutes.
Ladle a few cups of cooked apples into the food mill. Spin the handle until all the cooked applesauce is through, and all seeds and peels are in the top.
Remove the seeds and peels, and fill the mill with a few more cups of the cooked apples.
Repeat until you have put all the cooked apples through the food mill.
I find that it is best to work in small batches and not overfill the food mill. If you do, the holes will get clogged up with peels and it will be hard to get the applesauce through.
Add a teaspoon of cinnamon, if desired.
I chose to not add any addition sweetener, but you could drizzle in a little honey or maple syrup at this point if you want a it to be a little sweeter.
Use a funnel to pour the finished applesauce in pint size mason jars.
Storage
Several of my jars did seal from the heat of the applesauce. I do still plan to store these in the refrigerator since I didn't officially can them. They should keep for a few weeks.
If you want to store them in the pantry for longer storage, follow these instructions:
Ladle hot applesauce into your jars, leaving 1/2" head space at the top. Wipe around the rim to remove any excess applesauce. Cap with a new canning lid and ring. Process the jars in a water bath canner for 20 minutes. Remove the jars and sit them on the counter. Check to make sure they are sealed by pressing on the lid to see if it pops. If it makes a sound when you press it, it is not canned. If it is tight and sealed down you are good to go!

Lisa, that's a real testament to the ease and safety of the instant pot that you so comfortably use the pressure cooking function with baby straddled to your body! 😀
Homemade applesauce taste so much better then store bought. I canned 60 lbs of apples last fall into pie filling and applesauce.
Oh yummy!
I would recommend getting the Pampered Chef apple peeler, corer, slicer. Use that, then put in the Instant pot. Super easy and quicker than the food mill. Plus kids love using it because of the spiral apple it creates.
I would love to know more about herb gardening or just gardening in general. I don't know if that's something you and your family does? Might be a fun series though...how to do indoor/outdoor growing, growth and care progress, harvesting, canning/drying/cooking, then what -- like the whole cycle, snippets of which we get to see in your videos as time progresses.
Thanks for the suggestion! I don't really do any indoor gardening, but we do a big outdoor garden in the spring/summer. I will definitely make videos on that! :)
Hi Lisa! Congratulations on the birth of your new little baby, Micah! We moved to a different state recently so, with all the packing, unpacking, and trying to get settled, I have gotten behind in watching! Glad to be back watching your lovely videos!
Thank you Joann! We are certainly enjoying the sweet little guy. 😊
More instant pot recipes!!
Will do! :)
Congrats with the new addition. Beautiful😁I stumbled across your channel & love the content. Keep up the great work!!👏👏
Absolutely love your channel. please continue to make this beautiful content
Must get myself an instant pot!! Enjoying all your videos so much. Thanks
I have made applesauce by hand the hard long way for years.....so excited to try this!!
Love this!! I'm going to do this! I always do on it on the stovetop! Thank you for the printable! Pink applesauce with the tag would be cute valentine gifts!💝Holly
Oh that would be cute! Thanks for the suggestion Holly!
YUM You make things look very simple to make
Can't wait to make the applesauce, Lisa. Love the chunky style best.
Wow! Didn't know apple sauce was so easy to make! Thank you for sharing!
Hi from Brazil!! I love your videos. Thank you for sharing your ideas and for being an inspiring woman and mom!
Thank you so much!
What a brilliant channel!
Try using a wide mouth funnel. A perfect match for your wide mouth jars. Available on Amazon. I use mine all the time as I use mason jars for all storage.
Looks great! I make lots of applesauce, but never thought about doing it that way. I even have a Foley food mill too. Excellent tip. Happy New Year :-)
Sure makes it super fast! :)
I need to get another food mill. Mine rusted.
My mom used to make applesauce on top of the stove all the time.
Kathy B.
Happy New Year manly blessing for 2018.
Thank you! Same to you! :)
Nice!
I would have never thought to leave the apples whole like that! Going to look for a food mill.
such a good mama
Hey girl! I’ve just recently found your beautiful channel and blog and just love it! Just wondering if you homeschool! I’m homeschooling my 3, almost 4 year old and would love to see videos on it if you do! :)
Hey Kristen! Yes, I do homeschool. I would love to share my homeschool style with you all. :) In the meantime I do have a blog post I wrote on it a few years ago: farmhouseonboone.com/farmhouse-on-boone/homeschooling/
Hi Lisa; how long will the apple sauce keep in the frig? Thank you for showing us how to make wonderful foods!
I’ve been curious about the instant pot....have just recently heard of them. Are they easy to learn to use? The applesauce looks easy to do! Thanks and congratulations again on baby Micah’s arrival.
Thank you so much Gail! Yes the Instant Pot is super simple to use and you can do so many things with it! I plan to make more IP videos soon. :)
Farmhouse on Boone I’ll be looking forward to that.
i love your channel. I found it a few weeks ago. Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge. I love all of your videos. a little off topic but would you share what software you use to edit your videos. they are so well done. thanks again. I bought wide mouth jars yesterday and plan to make Kefir and sourdough starter. All learned here and inspired by you!
Thanks Shelley! I just use imovie. :)
Hi Lisa, Do you know how to actually can goods with your mason jars so you can store them in your pantry like you would for jarred/canned goods? I know there are certain steps for that. I would love to do this for things like applesauce, homemade pasta sauces, and other things you'd normally get store bought.
Okay. I followed your instructions to the T. But, after 30 minutes when I released the valve, it spewed apple juice all over my kitchen cabinets, counter tops, and floor. What a sticky mess. What should've taken 30 minutes ended up taking 2 hrs. And, all that for 1+ 3/4 pints! Evidently, the 3 qt. IP doesn't work the same as the 6 qt. IP. lol (And yes, I only filled it to the fill-line. And, I only used 1/2 c. water. However, I did peel and core my apples before putting them in the IP). Another day, I'll give it another try. Right now, I'm just too mentally fatigued. lol Oh, I added cinnamon, cloves, fresh lemon (and also fresh ginger) zest, to my applesauce. Delicious!
Oh yikes! Not sure why that happened. So sorry about that. :(
I found out what happened. I released the valve before the time was up. MY FAULT!
Yummy!!! Love your baby wrap! Did u make that? It's super cute!
I actually got it from sollybaby.com :)
Farmhouse on Boone ohhh I am going to check it out! Thanks so much! ❤️❤️❤️
I would love to see basic canning videos
I’m so tired I thought it said applause in instantpot. I just made my starter sourdough earlier! I’m hoping it works out!
You will be tired of hearing from me but I’m on a roll with reorganizing my home before starting back to school on Monday. 😉 So....can you recommend a good quality, durable food processor? The one i had broke. 😬Thanks.
I have had this one since 2011. amzn.to/2qz5Ajn It has some things I don't like about it, but it has served its purpose. :)
I love your video can you do my recipe in instant pot?
Thankyou how would you store the apple sauce
When canning this in a water bath do I need to add lemon juice?
Hi Lisa...i noticed your link goes to the 6 qt size instant pot...do you have any thoughts on the vs the 8qt size? We still have 9 people at home and I’m wondering if the larger size is worth it or necessary?
Gail Maynard Laura has the 8 quart and she likes it to make double batches of yogurt and chicken broth, but she doesn't like how much counter top real estate it takes up. The 6 quart will fit a whole chicken. So, I guess it just depends how much space you have and if you will regularly make things like 8 quarts of soup at a time.
Farmhouse on Boone Thank you Lisa!
Yum! How long will they stay good for in your cupboard?
Several of my jars did seal from the heat of the applesauce. I do still plan to store these in the refrigerator since I didn't officially can them.

Farmhouse on Boone wow, thank you!
What do you use applesauce for?
How do you store it? Can it be frozen?
Thats amazing!! Im wondering the same. How long would this last?

Farmhouse on Boone thats awesome. Thank you so much
What?! No peeling and coring? 🙌🏼 Do you seal the lids on the jars, or just screw them closed?
Several of mine sealed just from the applesauce being so hot, but I didn't officially can them, so I will put them in the fridge. :)
Farmhouse on Boone how long will they keep in the fridge?
Don’t the seeds contain arsenic?
The apples turn out that dark without any cinnamon?
I guess so :) I did add about a teaspoon of cinnamon after the apples had cooked though.
Oh darling you look so beautiful with little Micah can I do that in a crock pot ? I do not have an instapot
I don't either. What's the difference between the instant pot and crockpot? Just speed or are there other advantages? I hate to get yet another kitchen appliance to clutter up my cupboards if it's just about time. I actually love the smell of a crockpot working all day.
Yes, definitely! It will just have to cook longer.
The Instant Pot cooks with pressure, so the advantage is it cooks super quickly. It also has a yogurt setting, which is what I love. But, you could definitely make it in the crock pot too!
Are there recipes that you do to include the applesauce?
I sometimes put it in pancakes. :)
Bummer. I got rid of my food mill because I never used it.
Bummer!
You sold me on making it. Much less work your way thanks
