Peel the apples, remove the cores, and cut the flesh into large pieces, halving the quarters crosswise. Place them in the solid insert of the pressure cooker. Pour the required amount of water into the bottom of the pot and place the insert on the stand. Bring to a boil until it bubbles out, then reduce to level 1 and cook for 6 minutes (4 minutes is sufficient for smaller pieces). Be careful to move the pot gently, as otherwise water may spill into the insert and dilute the puree. Carefully open the lid and either mash the apples or puree them thoroughly with a hand blender. Fill boiled jars to the top, close the jars, turn them upside down, and let them cool. This way, the puree, like other preserved products, will keep for quite some time. I like to use old leftover apples for the applesauce. We also like varieties like Jonagold or Braeburn. You can, of course, refine them with vanilla, cinnamon, and other fruits to taste. You can also use pears. Then cook for a minute or two longer if necessary.
