Instant Pot Apple Crisp
Description
The Instant Pot Apple Crisp starts with a crumb topping made from flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter mixed to small crumbs. Granny Smith apples are combined with melted butter, lemon juice, vanilla extract, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and water, then layered in the Instant Pot and topped with the prepared crumb mixture. Cooking on high pressure for one minute softens the apples efficiently.
The pressure cooking yields tender, flavorful apples without excessive mushiness, while the cinnamon and vanilla add warm spice and aroma. Sprinkling the crumb topping before cooking allows it to steam and soften slightly, and optionally transferring the cooked crisp to an oven-proof dish for a brief broil crisps up the topping, adding a contrasting texture.
This recipe works well as a quick dessert or snack, pairing with ice cream or yogurt if desired. It showcases a balance of sweet, tart, and spice with a pleasantly tender fruit filling supported by a buttery, oat-studded crust.
