4 lb apples of mixed varieties (about 8 large, we like a mix of Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, and Honeycrisp)
0.5 cups water
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
0.5 tsp honey
0.25 tsp salt

Peel and core apples using a Johnny apple peeler, then roughly dice them into bite-size pieces.
Add water, lemon juice, cinnamon, honey, and salt to a multicooker and stir to combine. Add apples and toss to mix.
Secure lid and cook on manual (high pressure) for 8 minutes. Do a controlled quick release or allow the pressure to naturally release.
Mash the apple mixture a few times with a potato masher, until the mixture reaches desired consistency.
Transfer contents to a bowl and allow to cool completely. Stir in more cinnamon or honey, if desired, to taste.
Enjoy warm or cold. Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 to 10 days.
