Instant Pot Peach Apple Sauce

Peaches and apples cooked together with a bit of honey and cinnamon to make an irresistible snack. This Instant Pot Peach Apple Sauce is easy to make and perfect for kids and adults alike.

Apple Sauce

My four year old son loves homemade apple sauce. Last fall he and I made Instant Pot Apple Cider Apple Sauce and he has been requesting it regularly since. I bought some reusable pouches on Amazon and both of my kids get really excited when I fill them with homemade apple sauce and send them in their lunchboxes.

Peaches

At the grocery store recently my son saw some different types of pre-made apple sauce and he wanted to try to make some different flavors of apple sauce at home. This summer he has been on quite the peach kick, so we decided mixing peaches and apples was the way to go.

Peaches are a bit juicier than apples, so it took us a few tries to get the right consistency. We didn’t mind though, because every try turned out delicious.

Instant Pot Peach Apple Sauce

This Instant Pot Peach Apple Sauce is easy and super quick to make. In fact, my four year old can do 90% of the work on his own. Seriously. I cut the peaches and he does the rest. No one is ever sad about a recipe like that.

Here are a few tips for making this recipe:

I use an apple peeler/corer for the apples. It makes this recipe, as well as my Homemade Apple Pie recipe, super quick. I cannot recommend it enough.
I made this recipe with Fuji apples. If you use another type of apple, I recommend that you pressure cook without honey, taste, and then add honey until you reach your desired sweetness level.
Apple juice gives the apple sauce a little bit of extra sweetness. If you don’t have apple juice, you can use water, but you’ll likely need to add some additional honey.
I use an immersion blender to blend the apple sauce. If you do not have an immersion blender, you can transfer the apple sauce to a standing blender.
