Deliciously sweet Instant Pot cinnamon apples, perfect as a dessert or topping!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium Granny Smith apples
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Begin by peeling, coring, and slicing your Granny Smith apples into ½-inch pieces. Toss them with lemon juice in a bowl to keep them nice and fresh.
- Transfer the sliced apples to your Instant Pot. Mix in dark brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and maple syrup, ensuring even coverage for a delightful flavor.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together cornstarch with a little water to form a smooth slurry. Pour this into the Instant Pot, stirring well to avoid lumps and ensure thickening.
- Secure the lid on your Instant Pot, making sure the valve is sealed. Set to high pressure and cook for just 1 minute.
- Once the cooking time is up, perform a quick release of the pressure. Gently stir the apples, mixing in that luscious syrup before serving.
Notes
- Other varieties like Honeycrisp or Fuji can be used.
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice is best.
- Dark brown sugar can be substituted with maple syrup for a different flavor.
- Adjust ground cinnamon based on preference.
- Omit ground nutmeg for a milder taste.
- Select maple syrup or honey based on flavor preference.
- Adjust water quantity if receiving a burn notice during cooking.
