Instant Pot Baked Apples
Description
Instant Pot Baked Apples are prepared by coring medium apples without breaking the bottoms, creating a hollow space for the spiced filling. The filling combines softened butter with vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, walnuts, and raisins, lending richness, warmth, and texture. The apples are arranged on a trivet inside the Instant Pot with water below, allowing them to steam under pressure.
The 7-minute pressure cook followed by natural and quick pressure releases yields apples that are tender but still hold shape, with soft, melting filling inside. The nuts add crunch and the dried fruit a chewy sweetness. Serving these baked apples warm with vanilla ice cream rounds out the dessert with creaminess and a cold contrast.
This method offers a convenient alternative to oven baking, cutting down cook time and delivering well-textured baked apples with a spiced, nutty filling that can be prepared ahead and quickly finished when ready to serve.
