To begin making applesauce recipe, first wash and peel the apple. Cut them into slices/ chunks.
Add the apple slices to a pressure cooker. Add 2-3 tablespoon water to it. Pressure cook the apples for 2 whistles. Put the pressure cooker under running tap water and let it cool. Alternatively, you can steam the apple pieces in a baby steamer.
