Ingredients
- 16 large sweet apples about 1 1/2 pounds total, such as Honeycrisp or Gala
- 1 cup water
- 3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Being by washing and peeling your apples.
- Halve each apple, making sure to remove cores and seeds. Cut apples into chunks.
- Add apple chunks and water to the Instant Pot.
- Lock the lid by twisting the lid. Close the valve to seal in all pressure. Select “High Pressure” to the Instant Pot for 5 minutes. It will take about 8 minutes to come to pressure.

- Add the cinnamon. Blend again.
- Serve and enjoy!
