Ingredients
- 4 medium apples,* cored and peeled
- ¾ cup filtered water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Cut the apples into chunks and transfer them into the instant pot.
- In a small recipient whisk the water with lemon juice, coconut sugar, cinnamon, turmeric, vanilla, and salt and pour the liquid over the apples.
- Set the instant pot to “slow-cook” normal function, close the lid and cook for 2 hours.
- Once the time has elapsed open the lid and allow the apples to cool.
- Use an immersion blender or transfer to a food processor and process the mixture until the desired consistency is reached.
Notes
* I use apples that cook relatively fast, such as Fuji, McIntosh, Golden Delicious, etc.
Variations: You can use orange juice instead of water and add 1 teaspoon of orange zest and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest.
