Hello, every birdie. Today we are making a very simple recipe. Apple sauce. The recipe that I am following uses the instant pot. But if you don’t have one you could easily make some apple sauce on the stove. 

The reason I made this recipe was very simple. Because of the butter/margarine shortage that we have in my state. It is very strange but it is what it is. I can’t really complain too much. 

When looking at butter substitutes, apple sauce is always on the list. No matter who is putting it out. It’s always there. So I decided to make some. 

The ingredients you need for the apple sauce are:

• Apples 
• Water 
• Optional sugar
• Optional cinnamon

The recipe says to peel and chops the apples into large pieces. However, as my mom has told me and taught me if a peel is edible don’t waste it. So in this house, we don’t peel apples or potatoes. Because there is nutrition in the skin. 

But if you like peeling your apples, I am not here to stop you. Feel free to do whatever you like. 

Once you have your apples cut up. Place them into your instant pot or your pot, if you are using the stove. 

For the instant pot, you are going to secure the lid and make sure the valve is set to seal. It will make noise at the beginning. 

Set the timer on your machine for 8 minutes on high pressure. 

Once the timer goes off, you are going to grab a wooden spoon, if you have an older version of the instant pot, and carefully vent the apples until the steam stops. 

Remove the apples to a blender or you can use an immersion blender. I have also used a potato masher and it works well. 

If you want to you can add cinnamon and/or sugar. But if you are doing this recipe as a butter substitute you want to have unsweetened applesauce.

This recipe is not that difficult, and very easy to understand. I hope that you liked it. 

Thank you for liking and following. Feel free to check out the recipe down below. See you in the next recipe.
