Cook Mode

Wash the apples thoroughly. Chop the apples into quarters.
Place the apples inside an Instant pot.
Add in all the spices including the saffron.
Also add in the palm jaggery.
Add enough water to cover up the apples.
Place the lid and cook on High pressure for 15 minutes. Allow for natural release.
Whisk in the ghee now.
Mash the mixture with a masher and sieve using a fine-mesh sieve or a cheesecloth.
Discard the solids. Store in an airtight container for use within 5- 6 days.

Notes

Notes: If the sweetness is not enough, add more palm jaggery. There will be a slight kick from the pepper, if you don't prefer it, reduce the quantity to about 5-6 peppercorns or skip altogether. Ghee lends a slightly greasy feel. This ingredient again is optional, feel free to skip it if this flavor, even though subtle, doesn't appeal to your palette.
