Tips for Making Instant Pot Applesauce

Depending on what apples you choose, the applesauce may be sweeter or tangier.
Setting aside time to meal prep into 1 cup portions makes this an easy grab and go option.
Potato mashers work well, but if you need an immersion blender I recommend this one
If you want some variations on applesauce add a lemon juice followed by whatever fruit you want to add! (Ex. pineapple, peach, blueberry, etc.)
