Warm, spiced, and deeply comforting, this Instant Pot applesauce is the kind of simple recipe that makes your whole kitchen smell incredible. Every ingredient here is naturally free of gluten, so there's no swapping, substituting, or label-scrutinizing required — just real fruit and pantry staples doing exactly what they're supposed to do. The pressure cooker does the heavy lifting in just five minutes of cook time, breaking the apples down into something silky and sweet without any fuss. A splash of lemon juice brightens the flavor, while cinnamon (and optional nutmeg) gives it that cozy, almost-pie quality that's hard to resist. You get to choose your own texture adventure — go chunky with a potato masher or blitz it smooth with an immersion blender depending on your mood. It's equally good spooned warm over oatmeal, served alongside a pork roast, or eaten straight from the jar with a spoon. Make a big batch and keep it in the fridge, because it disappears faster than you'd expect.
