With simple ingredients and minimal effort, this Instant Pot Apple Crisp will quickly become a favorite in your dessert repertoire.
Ingredients:
- 6 cups peeled and sliced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss until the apples are well coated and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture resembles a crumbly topping.
- Pour the apple mixture into the bottom of the Instant Pot, spreading it evenly. Then, sprinkle the oat topping over the apples, ensuring an even layer covers the fruit.
- Close the Instant Pot lid and set it to the sealing position. Select the “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” setting and set the timer for 10 minutes on high pressure.
- Once the cooking time is complete, carefully perform a quick release of the pressure. Open the lid, and if the topping looks a bit soft, you can use the “Sauté” function for a few minutes to crisp it up slightly, if desired.
- Allow the apple crisp to cool for a few minutes before serving. It can be enjoyed warm on its own or topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
Extra Tips:
For added flavor, consider mixing in some chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, into the topping. You can also experiment with different spices like ginger or cloves to suit your taste. If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the amount of sugar to your liking.
This recipe is also versatile—feel free to substitute other fruits like pears or berries in place of apples for a different twist!
