How to Steam Apples in an Instant Pot
Steamed apples are a delicious and healthy snack! Using an Instant Pot is a great way to quickly and easily steam your apples with minimal effort. Here’s how:
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
You’ll need an Instant Pot, apples, a steamer basket (or something to use as a trivet), and a liquid like water or apple cider.
Step 2: Prepare the Apples
Peel and core the apples, and cut them into ½ inch pieces. Place them in the steamer basket and set aside.
Step 3: Cook the Apples
Pour a cup of water or apple cider into the Instant Pot. Place the steamer basket with the apples in the Instant Pot. Pressure cook for 3 minutes. Quick release the pressure and remove the steamer basket with the cooked apples. Let cool before serving.
Tips for Perfectly Steamed Apples
- Don’t overfill the steamer basket – the apples need room to move around.
- If you don’t have a steamer basket, use a silicone trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot instead.
- Add a tablespoon of your favorite sweetener or spice to the liquid before cooking.
And that’s it – you’ll have sweet and delicious steamed apples ready in a jiffy. Enjoy!
