Ingredients

Servings
  • 10 apple quartered or sliced, assorted varieties
  • 2 orange thickly sliced
  • 4 cinnamon stick
  • 1 tablespoon clove whole
  • 1 teaspoon allspice whole or ground
  • ½ cup brown sugar or maple syrup, honey, agave, granulated sugar
  • 1 cup cranberries optional, fresh

Instructions

  1. To the instant pot, add 12 cups of water. Then, add all the ingredients: apples, orange, cinnamon sticks, whole clove, whole spice, and brown sugar. Stir well.
  2. Close the lid, making sure the steam release valve is turned to the sealing position. Set the instant pot to PRESSURE COOK (or Manual for older models) on high pressure for 15 minutes.
  3. Let it naturally release pressure for 10 minutes before quick releasing the rest of the pressure. Then, mash the fruits with a potato masher and strain the apple cider through a fine-mesh sieve. Do a taste test and add more sweetener, if needed.
  4. Serve hot or cold.

Notes

  • Allow it to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes to avoid a ton of splatter and let the flavors infuse together. Do not leave it for too long or the orange rinds will cause the apple cider to become bitter.
  • If serving cider from a punch bowl, or a canister, add in some fresh apple and orange slices, cinnamon sticks, and cranberries for added presentation.
  • Some people enjoy a bit of the pulp in their cider. If that's you, feel free to not completely strain all of it out. You can add some back in if preferred.
