It is so insanely simple that you may find you make big batches, fill in jars and give as gifts to loved ones.
Ingredients:
3 to 4 lbs of apples* chopped and diced into large cubes

1 cup of apple juice (sweetened or unsweetened depending on your dietary needs)
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of nutmeg
Instructions:
Cut all apples into large cubes 1 inch or so in size, leaving the peel on. (Be sure to either core apples or cut out the core and discard.)
Add to the Instant Pot, with 1 cup of apple juice or water, again your preference.
Place lid on Instant Pot being sure to have the vent lever upward.
Set on high pressure for 10 to 12 minutes. (If you used Granny Smith, go for 12 mins)
Once done you can allow to release naturally on its own if you like.
Strain any excess juice using a fine mesh strainer and place back into pot. Use a potato masher to smooth the apples into a sauce consistency.

Raisins
finely chopped nuts
Brown or white sugar to taste
