Storing and Freezing Instructions
To Store: Instant pot applesauce can be stored in a jar or container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Make sure the jar seals airtight to prevent premature spoilage. Allow the applesauce to cool completely before refrigerating to avoid condensation, which can affect texture and flavor.
To Freeze: Allow the applesauce to cool completely. Spoon the sauce into ice cube trays. Freeze until solid. Pop the cubes out of the trays and store them in freezer bags labeled with the date. Make sure to mention what’s in there in case you have multiple kinds of applesauce.
