Cut your apples into chunks, discarding the cores. Place apples in the Instant Pot.
Add cinnamon sticks and water; cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
Let it rest for 10 minutes before releasing the steam. Stick an immersion blender into the Instant Pot and give it a few whizzes, alternating with some gentle mashing, to get the texture that you want.
You’re done! Enjoy your homemade applesauce!
