Instant Pot Apple Butter is full of Fall flavors and can be used in many ways. It's an easy recipe that everyone will love and makes a delicious gift from the kitchen.
Peel and quarter the apples, removing the cores. Place peeled apples in the Instant Pot inner liner.
Add remaining ingredients and stir.
Set the valve to Sealing. Cook on High pressure for 20 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally (this will take 15-20 minutes).
After the pressure is released, carefully open the lid and give it a stir.
Pour contents into a blender jar and blend until smooth (make sure you follow manufacturer instructions for blending hot foods). Or use an immersion blender right in the pot. You can leave it a little chunky if you prefer.
If you like a thicker sauce, continue cooking on the Slow Cooker function on Low. Cook for an additional 30 minutes - 2 hours, until you reach desired thickness.
Place in jars and allow to cool before refrigerating.
Notes
You can leave the peels on the apples if you prefer more texture.
Keeps in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks inĀ airtight jars.
Can be frozen up to 3 months in freezer-safe containers.
