Close the lid and set it to the regular "cook" setting, letting everything soften for about 30 minutes. About halfway through, give it a good stir and mash the apples a bit to help everything break down. Once it’s done cooking, let the applesauce cool off for about half an hour. When it’s no longer hot, transfer it to a bowl and pop it in the fridge to chill for at least an hour before serving.
