Instructions

Core the apples and chop them into quarters. (Chopping is optional but helps them cook down faster.)
Add the apples, cider, sugar, cinnamon, spices, vanilla and salt to the Instant Pot. Seal the lid and pressure cook on high for 25 minutes. Allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 20 minutes.
Remove the cinnamon sticks, then blend the apple mixture smooth with an immersion blender.
Press the sauté button and cook the apple butter, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency. For a thick, dark apple butter, sauté for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you prefer a lighter, looser texture (more like applesauce), cook for 20-30 minutes.
Transfer the apple butter to a jar and let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating.

Notes

Store the apple butter in a mason jar or another airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 to 3 months when kept in an airtight container.
Freezing apple butter is easy! Simply let it cool completely, then transfer it into airtight containers or freezer-safe bags, leaving some space for expansion. Label and date the containers, and it will keep in the freezer for up to a year. When you're ready to enjoy it, thaw the apple butter in the fridge overnight.
