There are a lot of quotes about the goodness of apples:

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”

“There’s nothing more American than apple pie.”

“Surely the apple is the noblest of fruits.”

What it boils down to is that apples are delicious, no matter how you prepare them.

Apple season is always a joyous occasion in my house. A beautiful Saturday morning spent at the apple orchard is followed by weeks of enjoying the harvest.

Fresh picked apples make the best snack, but apples can also be turned into an array of tasty treats.

Tips For Cooking Instant Pot Apples

If you’ve ever made homemade applesauce, you’ve experience how quickly apples can cook even when you’re not using the Instant Pot.

Soft mushy apples are perfect for applesauce but when you are making pie filling, cinnamon apples, or other dishes, you’ll likely want the apples to hold their shape and have a bit more texture.

Here are some tips for making sure your Instant Pot apple recipes turn out just like you expect.

  • Choose the right apple. Apples that are firm and tart like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Jonathan and Jonagolds will hold their shape better and are perfect for pies and any application where you want larger piece of apple with more texture. Macintosh and Golden Delicious are soft and sweet and just right for applesauce or apple butter.
  • Cut the apples as directed. Instant Pot apple recipes are adjusted for the intense, fast cooking ability of a pressure cooker. In recipes where you want the apples to retain more of their shape, cutting them into larger chunks will help. You can leave the peel on as well.
  • Cook for the right amount of time. Trust the recipes and when it says to cook for 1 minute, follow the directions. Remember that an Instant Pot takes time to come up to pressure so while it may only cook for 1 minute at pressure, a lot is happening inside the Instant Pot before then.
