You can, but I don't recommend you do. I like using unsweetened applesauce when baking! My instant pot u003ca href=u0022https://freshwaterpeaches.com/easy-instant-pot-applesauce/u0022u003eApplesauceu003c/au003e recipe is very easy to make, and only takes 20 minutes to cook! You can also buy a jar from the store - just check if there is any added sugar.
