Calories: 84kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/3 cup water
- 6 apples, cored, peeled and diced any type will work, though I prefer a sweeter variety such as golden delicious or honeycrisp
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to the Instant Pot in the order in which they are listed.
- Place lid on Instant Pot and make sure valve is set to seal. Press the pressure cook button and set to high, then cook for 5 minutes. Instant Pot will take about 5-10 minutes to come to pressure then pressure cook for 5 minutes.
- Let the Instant Pot do a natural pressure release. Open the lid when pressure gauge has dropped and the lid opens easily. Mash apples roughly with a potato masher, then you are ready to serve and enjoy!
