Spiced Apples (Instant Pot)
Description
Spiced Apples prepared in the Instant Pot combine peeled, cored apple wedges with apple cider, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Pressure cooking for a short time tenderizes the apples while concentrating the spices' flavors. The result is soft, fragrant apple wedges with a balanced sweetness and spice aroma.
This dish can be served warm as a side to meats such as pork chops or chicken, or used as a fruit topping over desserts, offering a versatile addition to meals.
