Ingredients

  • 5 lbs Apples (cored and sliced)
  • 1/3 Cup Apple Cider or Juice
  • 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tsp Cinnamon

Instructions

  • Place apple slices in the Instant Pot.
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon all over the apples, then pour in the apple cider. Gently toss to coat the apples.
  • Seal instant pot and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. Once cooking has completed, do a quick release of the pressure.
  • Puree the pressure cooked apples. You can use an immersion blender to do this right in the pot, or place the apples in a blender, then return to the Instant Pot for the next step.
  • After the apples have been pureed, sauté them in the Instant Pot on the "less" setting for 15-45 minutes, until the puree has turned a brown color and been reduced to your liking. Be sure to stir regularly during this time.
  • Allow to cool, then place in an airtight container (I used two of these mason jars) and store in the refrigerator until ready to eat.

Notes

*I ended up with about 16oz of apple butter which gave me 32 1tbsp servings.
