Notes

Store covered in refrigerator for a month.

This recipe is sugar free because I wanted the apple flavor to shine. If the apples you use are tart, up to ½-cup honey, maple syrup or brown or white sugar may be added.

If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you can cook this in a slow cooker, over low heat 4-6 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
