Instant Pot Apple Dumplings
Description
Instant Pot Apple Dumplings combine Granny Smith apple wedges wrapped in crescent roll dough. Butter, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg are melted together in the pot, creating a spiced syrup when cooked with the dumplings.
Cooking under high pressure for 10 minutes softens the dough and apple simultaneously, infusing the dessert with warm spices and apple cider flavor. The natural tartness of the Granny Smith apples balances the sweetness of the topping and syrup.
Serve the dumplings warm, drizzled with the reduced syrup from the pot for a cozy dessert. Adjust sugar as needed if using a less tart apple variety.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces crescent rolls 1 can
- 1 large apple cored, peeled and cut into 8 wedges, Granny Smith
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch ground nutmeg
- 3/4 cup apple cider (NOT vinegar! Apple Cider Juice only)
Instructions
- Preheat the Instant Pot by selecting Saute.
- Open the can of crescent rolls and roll the dough out flat. Roll each wedge of apple in 1 crescent roll.
- Add the butter to the Instant Pot and select Cancel. Add the sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg and stir until melted.
- Place the dumplings side by side in the Instant Pot. Drizzle the apple cider along the edges. Secure the lid.
- Select Manual and cook at high pressure for 10 minutes.
- Once cooking is complete, use a natural release. Let it cool for a few minutes and serve warm, drizzled with the sugar and cider syrup.
Notes
- Granny Smith apples offer tartness that complements the sweet syrup; reduce sugar if using sweeter apple varieties.
