  1. 1 Use a vegetable peeler to remove 2 thick strips of lemon peel, being careful to avoid the bitter pith. Tie up lemon peel, cinnamon stick, ginger, star anise, and cloves in cheesecloth for easy retrieval after cooking.
  2. 2 Place apples in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add cheesecloth bundle, water, and salt. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  3. 3 Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 15 to 20 minutes. Avoid releasing pressure manually as hot applesauce may splutter up through the vent. Remove the cheesecloth bundle with a slotted spoon and discard.
  4. 4 Mix brown sugar into the applesauce until dissolved. Taste and adjust the level of sweetness if needed.

Instructions

  1. 1 Pour milk into a large pot, then stir in salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent milk from scorching on the bottom of the pot.
  2. 2 When milk begins to boil (small bubbles will first appear at the edges), turn off the heat. Stir in lemon juice. Milk will curdle; you may need to wait 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. 3 Line a sieve or colander with a cheesecloth. Pour milk through the cloth to catch the curds. Gather cheesecloth around the cheese and squeeze out as much liquid (whey) as you can. What is left in the cheesecloth is farmer's cheese. Use the whey for another use (some people drink it), or discard. Wrap cheese in plastic or place in an airtight container.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place 12 standard-size silicone muffin cups on a baking sheet or line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. 2 With a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the flour(s), sugars, butter, vanilla, and lemon together on medium-low speed until a cohesive dough forms.

  5. 5 With an electric hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, goat cheese, sugar, flour, egg, applesauce, and lemon zest and juice together on medium-low speed.
  6. 6 Spoon the filling on top of the crust in each cup, dividing it evenly and filling each cup to the brim.
  7. 7 Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly browned. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and cool completely before serving.
