1. Put all of the ingredients into the cooking pot of the Multicooker.

2. Select Slow Cook on Low for 4 hours.

3. Once unit switches to Keep Warm, remove the cinnamon sticks. If a chunky sauce is desired, use a potato masher to mash cooked apples to desired consistency. If a smooth sauce is preferred, transfer apples to a fine mesh strainer and press through with the help of a ladle. Once the apples have passed through the strainer, discard the skins (if necessary) and return smooth apples to the cooking pot. Keep sauce on Keep Warm for serving, or cool to room temperature and store in the refrigerator.
