Instant Pot Strawberry Applesauce

When I have a bunch of strawberries, and apples in the fruit bowl, there's a good chance that I will be making some yummy Instant Pot Strawberry Applesauce! This is one of the easiest Instant Pot® recipes you can make. Homemade applesauce is so good!

We always have apples in the house, and if strawberries are past their season, I usually have a bag of strawberries in my freezer! I use them for smoothies and other fun recipes, too! So when I want to make Instant Pot Strawberry Applesauce, I can just dip into that bag and throw them in the pot with the apples!

For fresh strawberries, we get them from our local farmers market, or the local u-pick berry farm.

I love the taste of Instant Pot Strawberry Applesauce. The two fruits compliment each other very well. Sometimes, if I have any, I will also add in one or two ripe pears. Really good! I usually don't need to add any extra sugar, though your tastes may run sweeter.

This is another fast Instant Pot recipe, and the hardest part is preparing the apples (though if you have apples in your freezer, you are ahead of the game!).

My 10 yeqr old granddaughter makes this recipe by herself (with my supervision). She loves cooking with her Nana!

Course: Breakfast, Dessert
Cuisine: American
Keyword: pressure cooker strawberry applesauce recipe
Servings: 3 pints (approx.)
Calories: 76 kcal
Author: Sandy Clifton
Ingredients
  • 6-8 Apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (any kind. Medium to large size)
  • 2-3 cups Strawberries (fresh or frozen)
  • ¼ tsp Cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice (about ½ of a lemon)
Optional
  • 1-2 Ripe Pears (peeled, cored, and sliced)
  • ¼ cup Sugar
Instructions
  1. Place all ingredients in the inner pot of the pressure cooker.

  2. Put the lid on and set the steam release knob to Sealing position.

  3. Press the Manual (or Pressure Cook) button and then the +/- button to select 4 minutes.

  4. After cooking cycle ends, let the pressure cooker Naturally Release the steam for 15 minutes. Then manually release the remaining steam.

  5. Once all steam/pressure is out of the pot and the pin in the lid drops, open the lid carefully, facing it away from you.

  6. Stir the applesauce. Then use a potato masher to mash up the fruit and get the consistency you like. If it is too watery for you, press the Sauté button and cook out some of the water, stirring constantly.

  7. You can adjust sugar at this point as well. Just taste the applesauce, and stir in more sugar, if desired. Stir once more before transferring to other containers to be sure sugar has completely dissolved.

Recipe Notes

Use any variety of apples you like. De-stem fresh strawberries before cooking.

Instant Pot Strawberry Applesauce is sweet, healthy, and easy to make! Use fresh or frozen strawberries in this pressure cooker strawberry applesauce recipe! simplyhappyfoodie.com #instantpotstrawberryapplesauce #instantpotrecipes #instantpot #instantpotapplesauce #strawberryapplesauce

    I had added the water before I say your answer. It came out a little watery so I sautéd as you suggested and the final product was perfect. The next time I use strawberries I will not add water/
    Thank you and I am enjoying your new Instant Pot cookbook.

    Question: I noticed there was no water included in this recipe unlike your Instant Pot Applesauce recipe that I have made already. Is this correct?

      The apples and strawberries will release plenty of water as they heat up before coming to pressure. If you are concerned, you can add 1/4 cup at the most of water. If it is too watery after pressure cooking, you can drain some, or sauté it and cook it down.

        AN APPRECIATIVE THANKS to everyone asking the "water" question and to Sandy for responding. I just loaded my IP with these ingredients and realized I had not added any water (which is sort of the IP standard requirement). I jumped online to do a search and here IS my answer!!
        I'm going to forge ahead with no water and see how things go. I'm not adding any sugar. I use Stevia and my husband loves regular sugar. We can sweeten when we eat it. THANK YOU
