Steps:
- Use a vegetable peeler to remove 2 thick strips of lemon peel, being careful to avoid the bitter pith. Tie up lemon peel, cinnamon stick, ginger, star anise, and cloves in cheesecloth for easy retrieval after cooking.
- Place apples in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add cheesecloth bundle, water, and salt. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
- Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 15 to 20 minutes. Avoid releasing pressure manually as hot applesauce may splutter up through the vent. Remove the cheesecloth bundle with a slotted spoon and discard.
- Mix brown sugar into the applesauce until dissolved. Taste and adjust the level of sweetness if needed.

Tips
- Choose the right pork loin. For this recipe, you'll want to use a boneless, skinless pork loin roast. This cut of meat is lean and tender, and it cooks quickly in the Instant Pot.
- Season the pork loin generously. The seasonings in this recipe help to enhance the flavor of the pork. Be sure to rub the seasonings all over the pork loin, including the sides and ends.
- Brown the pork loin before cooking it in the Instant Pot. Browning the pork loin helps to develop its flavor and create a delicious crust. To brown the pork loin, heat some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork loin to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned.
- Add the applesauce, chicken broth, and spices to the Instant Pot. The applesauce, chicken broth, and spices help to create a flavorful cooking liquid for the pork loin. Be sure to stir the ingredients well to combine.
- Cook the pork loin in the Instant Pot on high pressure for 15-20 minutes. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the pork loin. For a 2-pound pork loin, cook for 15 minutes. For a 3-pound pork loin, cook for 20 minutes.
- Let the pork loin rest before slicing and serving. Letting the pork loin rest helps to redistribute the juices, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat.
Conclusion
This Instant Pot applesauce pork loin is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork loin is cooked to perfection in the Instant Pot, and the applesauce, chicken broth, and spices create a flavorful cooking liquid that infuses the pork with flavor.
