Ingredients
  

  • 5 pounds Honeycrisp Apples
  • 2 cups Unfiltered Apple Cider
  • 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon Allspice
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Cloves

Instructions
 

  • Using an apple slicer or a sharp knife, slice the apples and place them in the instant pot.
  • Add two cups of unfiltered apple cider and spices.
  • Put the lid on the Instant Pot, close the vent, and set it on High Pressure for 25 minutes.
  • When the 25 minutes are up, allow the steam to naturally release pressure. Do not move the valve to venting. Allowing the steam to natural release will help the apples break down more.When the instant pot is done with its release, carefully open up the lid and give it a good stir.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend the apple butter until smooth.
  • Turn the instant pot to "saute" and gently place the lid halfway propped to allow the steam to vent. Saute the apple butter for one hour until the liquid is decreased by half and you are left with thick, consistent butter.

Notes

Some people peel their apples but I don't normally peel them. Since we are cooking them down to the point of a thick liquid, there is no need to peel them. Additionally, most of the nutrients in the apple lay in the skin so to get the most out of your recipe, leave the skin on.
