I don’t know if y’all had a Boston Market where you grew up, but we did. And my FAVORITE thing (other than the cornbread) was their applesauce. It was chunky and warm and amazing. When I purchased applesauce from the store it was cinnamon applesauce from Motts, but not chunky and always eaten cold.

I bought an Instant Pot a while back and decided to use it to make applesauce. I am NEVER looking back, sorry Mott family. This stuff was SO easy and SO delish!

Here’s my IKEA step by step process:

There’s no formal recipe. This is how I do it:

1. Peel apples and cut into chunks
2. Add cinnamon (circle 1)
3. Add NuNaturals Vanilla Syrup (circle 2)
4. Add a splash of lemon juice and some water
5. Stir together so apples are evenly covered (circle 3)
6. Steam for 20 mins, release instant pot pressure
7. Mash any huge chunks
8. Eat warm if possible. Because OMG.

You can also use brown sugar in this or a splash of bourbon if you imbibe. It is a delightful treat no matter how you make it.

So, I guess you could say I’m…. Austin Market. Eh? Eh?
