Ingredients
7 large apples, thinly sliced (such as Pink Lady)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ cup water
Instructions
- Add sliced apples, water, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the Instant Pot. Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes.
- Release pressure and remove the lid.
- Switch to the sauté function and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring constantly to evaporate excess liquid.
- Use an immersion blender to blend the apples until smooth and creamy.

Notes
Add cloves or allspice for extra spiced flavor.
Mix apple varieties for a balance of tartness and sweetness.
For thicker apple butter, simmer longer to reduce liquid.

Optional: add a touch of honey or maple syrup if a sweeter taste is desired.
