What Are the Best Apples for Pressure Cooking?

Apples are inherently soft, which makes them sensitive to cooking. This is why it is essential to consider different apple varieties for various purposes. Luckily, almost any type of apple will work for this recipe.

The most important thing is size, as we want to ensure we have enough apple slices for the recipe. We can go with whichever apples we prefer, be it for flavor, color, or texture. The most commonly used apples in baking include:

All of these apples are commonly used as baking apples for a reason. These apples are known for keeping their structure and flavor when cooked. Want to keep that apple crisp? Use one of these apples in this great dessert.

We want some tenderness to them as well, but that crisp is part of why we all love apple pie as much as we do. After all, mushy cinnamon apples is basically just apple sauce. Pick a great baking apple and get ready for your delicious dessert in just a matter of minutes.

Instant Pot Cinnamon Apples Ingredients

• Medium Apples: This recipe used medium apples for the pics. However, we already know that we can use whichever apples we love the most. We will need to adjust the number of apples if we use large apples, but your favorite apples should be just fine. 
• Cinnamon: This is where the magic happens; this is where we get that whole house smell that signals we are in fall. We can take this recipe up a notch by using freshly ground cinnamon. However, use whichever brand of ground cinnamon you like or have on hand. 
• Monk Fruit Sweetener: Monk fruit sweetener converts to sugar measurements in a 1:1 ratio. This means 1 cup of monk fruit sweetener will give you the same amount of sweetness as one cup of sugar. However, we can use whichever sweetener we like, even brown sugar. Just be sure to look up the conversions before getting started. 
• Water: Instant Pots use high pressure and steam to cook. However, we don’t want our apples drying out, so we don’t want the Instant Pot soaking up any moisture from them. This is why we add water to the mix, not a lot, just enough.
