This recipe is especially for anyone asking what flavors of applesauce are there.

Let me first start by saying applesauce by itself is perfectly delicious.
However, sometimes it is fun to try something different and this recipe is just one way to do that!

Strawberry applesauce is basically applesauce made with strawberries.

The combination of strawberries and apples is a complementary one that really does taste good.
You may also like the colorful pink-ish appearance of this applesauce thanks to the strawberries.

 

Here is how to prepare your apples to make applesauce.

Peeling the apples will make the texture of this applesauce more uniform in texture.
I would suggest peeling your apples using a vegetable peeler for this reason before adding them to this recipe.

You will also need to remove the core before you can slice up your apple.

After you have removed the core and the skin you can cut your apples into wedges.
Using an apple peeler as well as an apple corer slicer can seriously make this an easier and quicker recipe to make.
 
 

Here are some tips for making instant pot applesauce.

While this recipe is for strawberries and apples, you could experiment by subbing in another kind of berry such as raspberries. You may need to make some ingredient adjustments for flavor or texture by doing this.

Here are some more helpful tips for you.

1. Use more than one kind apple to get a more flavorful sauce. For example, I like to use both sweet and less sweet apple varieties together when making applesauce because of the way that the can work together.
2. Adding seasonings can really make this applesauce taste better and be more 'fall-like". I like ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or even apple pie spice.
3. Using a sugar alternative is not necessary for this recipe as we can assume that the apples can take care of this on their own. However, when your applesauce is done cooking and has cooled you may want to take a taste of it to determine if it may taste a bit better with a bit of sweetener or honey.

 

Here is how to store strawberry applesauce.

Store applesauce in a closed container, such as a canning jar , for up to a week in the refrigerator.
However, you can easily freeze your applesauce in a zip top freezer bag for later use.

Everyone always seems to ask what are the best apples to use when making applesauce?

I like to use more than one variety of apple in my sauce to make the taste a bit more personable.
This helps give the applesauce a better taste.

However, many people like to certain varieties of apples that seem to be more successful.

Among the most popular varieties of apples that can be used for sauce, you may hear about any of these:

• Gala
• McIntosh
• Lodi
• Honeycrisp
• Jonathan
• PaulaRed
• Golden Delicious
• Fuji
• Red Delicious
• Earligold

Some of the above apple varieties are location specific and may not be available in your neck of the woods. Obviously, this is not a complete list of apples that make the best sauce. I tend to stick with what is ripe at the time that I am making applesauce. I also like to mix something that is a bit tart with something that may be a bit sweeter just to balance them out.

 

Ingredients needed to make Strawberry Applesauce in an instant pot.

• Apples- 2 pounds. That is about five to six average sized.
• Strawberries- 4 cups. The strawberries should have their stems removed before measuring them.
• Water
• Optional- Sugar alternative or honey. This is to taste- up to three tablespoons.

 

How to make Instant Pot Strawberry Applesauce

 

• Prepare your apples by peeling them and slicing them into wedges. Then prepare the strawberries by removing the stems. You can slice the strawberries in half if desired.
• Place the prepared apples and strawberries in the instant pot.
• Add enough water to the instant pot to fully cover the fruit. You can add optional sugar alternative or honey at this point as well.
• Next, seal the instant pot and the pressure valve. Cook the applesauce on high pressure for six minutes. Then allow the pressure to release naturally from the pot.
• When the instant pot has finished and the applesauce has somewhat cooled, transfer it to a blender and blend for one minute to smooth it out. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your blender.
• Allow the applesauce to fully cool before transferring it to a container or serving.
