Description
A delicious and easy recipe for Instant Pot apples, perfect for dessert or topping!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups Apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (Granny Smith recommended for best results.)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (Preferably freshly squeezed.)
- 1/2 cup Dark Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup Maple Syrup or Honey (Use based on flavor preference.)
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg (Optional, use sparingly.)
- 1/4 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch (Make a slurry with water before adding.)
Instructions
- Begin by peeling, coring, and slicing your apples into ½-inch pieces. Toss them with lemon juice in a bowl to keep them fresh and vibrant.
- Transfer the sliced apples to your Instant Pot, then sprinkle in the dark brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup. Mix well to ensure every slice is coated in flavor.
- In a separate bowl, combine the cornstarch with a little bit of water until smooth, then pour it into the Instant Pot and stir thoroughly to mix everything together.
- Secure the lid of your Instant Pot, ensuring that the valve is sealed. Set it to cook on high pressure for just 1 minute.
- Once the cooking time is complete, perform a quick release of the pressure. Carefully open the lid and gently stir the apples before serving.
Notes
- This recipe works best with Granny Smith apples for the right balance of tartness and sweetness.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey.
- Adding nuts or raisins can give an extra texture if desired.
