2
Pressure Cook

Cook at High Pressure (239°F / 115°C) for 6–8 mins. Use full natural release.

Apples collapse instantly under a whisk or potato masher into silky smooth sauce After full natural release, carefully open the lid away from you. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Pro Tip: Use a combination of McIntosh for breakdown and Honeycrisp for flavor; a full natural release prevents hot apple puree from sputtering.
