Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 7 large apples I used pink ladies, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Add the sliced apples, 1/4 cup water, cinnamon and nutmeg to the Instant Pot. Cook for 20 minutes on high pressure.
- Release the pressure and remove the lid.
- Switch to the sauté function on the Instant Pot and allow the apples too cook for an additional 5 minutes with the lid off. Stir constantly.
- Blend the apples with an immersion blender.
Notes
- It is necessary to cook the apples for a few additional minutes with the pressure cooker lid off. This allows any additional liquid to evaporate. Since I made my apple butter without any additional sugar, it will naturally be a little more watery, as the sugar absorbs liquid and helps the apple butter to set up.
- Cooking off additional liquid will give it that apple butter consistency that you're used to.
