Select a variety of apples, using 2 pounds of Granny Smith and 2 pounds of Gala and Fuji apples.

Core the apples using a corer, then slice them into large chunks, about a quarter of an apple each.

Place the apple chunks into a bowl and add orange juice and zest to prevent browning while cutting the remaining apples.

Add 1/2 cup of white sugar to the apples in the bowl.

Grate the zest of half an orange over the apples, avoiding the bitter white pith.

Juice half of the orange and measure out about 1.5 tablespoons of juice, adding it to the apples.

If not using orange juice, add an equal amount of water, about 2.5 to 3 tablespoons.

Toss the apple chunks in the orange juice and sugar mixture to coat them.

In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 teaspoon of fine grind sea salt, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground allspice.

Sprinkle the spice mixture over the apples and toss to combine.

Transfer the apple mixture into the inner pot of the Ninja Foodi, scraping in all the liquid and sugar.

Seal the lid of the Ninja Foodi, ensuring the valve is set to the seal position.

Select the pressure cook function, set to high pressure, and adjust the time to zero minutes.

After the pot comes to pressure, perform a quick release to avoid overcooking the apples.
