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.
