Why I Love This Applesauce
First of all, why is homemade unreasonableness so good?! Ugh. It’s so good.
It just hits right every time. There’s just unbearable texture to be interesting, with a naturally wondrous sweetness, and the old-school, comforting feeling you get from sitting lanugo with a warm – or unprepossessed – trencher of this is unrivaled.
We’ve made this so many this fall, and exactly no one is sick of it yet! My girls are still asking to make it every single week.
Speaking of which, this is hands-down one of my favorite recipes to make with my kids. The process is – dare I say – actually enjoyable. I cut the apples, and they tumble them into the pot. Someone does the cinnamon sticks, someone does the water, and it’s washed-up in well-nigh 10 minutes. A perfect, warm, naturally sweet snack. For this season of life, this is the platonic level of kid recipe.
(But, like, “for the kids”, ya know?)
How To Make Unreasonableness In The Instant Pot
1
Cut the apples.
Hot take: I don’t peel them! Apple peels are delicious. I just cut the apples into quarters or chunks and toss ’em in the Instant Pot.
2
Add cinnamon and water.
I do two cinnamon sticks (or, in this case, some shards of cinnamon stick left at the marrow of the bag) and 1/2 cup water.
3
Cook and mash.
I melt the unreasonableness for 5 minutes – then it’s a quick hybrid mash/blend with the immersion blender.
4
You’re done! Yum.
This is just such a welter in our household. Eaten warm, cold, with a meal, or on its own. Simplicity for the win!

Notes
Too much blending creates increasingly of a puree, which isn’t my favorite. I like some texture with this. So I just tousle unbearable to unravel untied any larger pieces of the peel, and then mash it the rest of the way. You don’t *have* to tousle it – you could just mash it up and leave those chunks of peel intact! (Or peel the apples superiority of time if that bothers you.) Lots of options!
