Are your taste buds tingling? Because surprise, surprise, we’re just getting to the good part! Let’s dive into the recipe, shall we?

Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 6 large apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground allspice

For this recipe, you���ll need an Instant Pot, an immersion blender (or regular blender), and a jar for storage.

When it comes to the type of apples, I’d recommend using any kind of crisp and tart apple like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. The sugars are of course for sweetness and the spices are here to make your apple butter taste like a cozy autumn day. Sure, you can substitute white sugar with coconut sugar or honey, but somehow, in my experience, these don’t quite hit the spot like a classic sugar does.

How To Make Instant Pot Apple Butter That Takes Under 30 Minutes To Make

1. Start by peeling, coring, and slicing your apples. Add them to the Instant Pot.
2. Combine the sugars and spices in a small bowl, then pour this mixture over the apples in the Instant Pot. Stir well to combine.
3. Set your Instant Pot to high pressure for 15 minutes. Once the cooking time is up, release the pressure naturally. This should take about 10 minutes.
4. Once the pressure is fully released, open the Instant Pot. Using an immersion blender, puree the apple mixture until smooth. If you don���t have an immersion blender, you can transfer the mixture to a regular blender to puree.
5. Transfer the apple butter to a jar or container and let cool, then close the lid and refrigerate it. The apple butter will thicken as it cools. After chilling and thickening, your homemade apple butter is ready to serve! Enjoy it on toast, muffins, pancakes, and more!

Tips For The Best Results

• Peel your apples for a smoother texture.
• Be careful not to over-blend the apple mixture. A little chunky is okay!

Storage Tips

• Keep the apple butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• You can also freeze it for up to 2 months. Just make sure to leave some space at the top of the jar for expansion.
