Basic Unsweetened Applesauce

Basic Unsweetened Applesauce

Ingredients:
1 cup water
12 medium apples (about 3 pounds)

Directions:
1. Add the water to a pressure cooker. If using organic apples, rinse and quarter the
apples. If not, rinse, peel, and quarter the apples. Add to the pressure cooker.
2. Lock the lid into place, bring to high pressure, and immediately remove from the
heat; let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Quick-release any
remaining pressure.
3. Once the apples have cooled slightly, pass the apples and cooking liquid through
a food mill. If you do not have a food mill, add the apples and cooking liquid in
batches to a food processor or blender. Refrigerate covered for up to 10 days or
freeze for up to 4 months.
