Pressure Cooker Apple Butter

Craving something sweet yet simple to make? I recently discovered the magic of turning a bushel of apples into silky, spiced apple butter in my pressure cooker, and it’s been a game-changer for my breakfast routine. The best part? It fills your home with the coziest aroma imaginable.
8
servings10
minutes45
minutesIngredients
- 5 lbs apples, cored and quartered (no need to peel—trust me!)
- 1 cup apple cider (or water, but cider adds depth)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract (the real deal, please)
Instructions
- Place the quartered apples and apple cider into your pressure cooker. The cider should just cover the bottom to prevent burning.
- Secure the lid and set the pressure cooker to high for 15 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.
- Once safe to open, use an immersion blender to puree the apples until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, mash with a potato masher instead.
- Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Cook on the sauté function for 20-30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
- Tip: For a deeper flavor, let the apple butter reduce longer, but keep an eye on it to prevent sticking.
- Tip: Sterilize your jars by boiling them if you plan to store the apple butter for more than a week.
- Tip: Taste and adjust spices before the final cook—some like it spicier!
Silky with a hint of spice, this apple butter is perfect on toast, swirled into yogurt, or even as a glaze for pork chops. The depth of flavor you get from such minimal effort is nothing short of miraculous.

minutes40
minutesIngredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (sifted for a lighter texture)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (or substitute with coconut sugar for a healthier twist)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (use high-quality for richer flavor)
- 1 tsp baking soda

- Add the water, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Pour the batter into a greased 7-inch cake pan that fits inside your pressure cooker. Cover the pan with aluminum foil to prevent moisture from dripping onto the cake.
