Instant Pot - Spiced Apples

 I love going to Cracker Barrel and getting their cinnamon apples.  I thought, I wonder if I could make these at home!  Sure enough, and it's so easy!  You may even have all of the ingredients right now!  

All you need to make this is the following!

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 5 Apples
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 cup cool water
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch

You can use any type of apples you want, you can even use various types of apples, I used Granny Smith.  I decided not to peel mine, simply because I like the peels, but you can if you want.  

  1. Prep the apples, I cut them using an apple slicer, then dropped them into the bowl of the IP
  2. Pour 2 tablespoons of lemon juice over the top and stir them around.  
  3. Add 1 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 2 tablespoons honey. Toss to combine.
  4. Whisk the the 3 tablespoons of cornstarch into the 1 cup water with until lump-free. 
  5. Add the mixture to the Instant Pot and stir to combine well.
  6. Place the lid on, lock and make sure the valve is in the sealing position.
  7. Press the manual button and set the time to Pressure Cook for 2 minutes.
  8. Do a natural release for 10 minutes
  9. Release any other pressure after 10 minutes, stir and enjoy!
