  • Add the sugar, mix well and press saute on the Instant Pot. Set the saute to low. Let it cook down, stirring every 5-10 mins or so, for about an hour. The color will change slightly to a darker shade and the sauce will thicken to become apple butter. There is no set consistency to it, you can make it as thick or not thick and closer to apple sauce consistency, as per your personal preference.
