Instructions

Instant Pot method

The apples can be peeled or, if you prefer, they can be left unpeeled. Remove the cores and slice or chop into chunks.
Place the apples, water and cinnamon into the Instant Pot. Close the lid and cook on manual high pressure for 5 minutes. Use a natural release.
Carefully open the lid, add a pinch of salt and sweetener if required and stir to combine. The use of sweetener will depend enormously on the type of apples that you use.
If you like very smooth apple sauce, use an immersion hand blender to blend. Cool and serve.

Stove top method

Peel the apples (or leave the skins on if you prefer) and remove the cores. Slice or chop the apples. Place into a saucepan with the water and cinnamon. Cover and cook over a low heat for 10 - 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and mushy.
Remove from the heat and add a pinch of salt and sweetener if required. Use a fork or potato masher to smoosh the sauce to the required consistency. If you want really smooth apple sauce then you can use an immersion hand blender to blend.
