Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups Water ((for the pressure cooker))
  • 4 Apples ((about 7-8 oz ea))
  • 1/2 cup Butter, (softened)
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla
  • 1 Tbsp Cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1/3 cup Chopped Pecans (optional)

Instruction

  • Pour 1 1/2 cups of water in the inner liner of the pressure cooker.
  • Wash and core the apples, leaving some of the bottom intact to hold the filling in. Use a melon baller or similar spoon-type utensil to scoop out a bit of the flesh. Not too much!
  • Mix the butter, vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar, and pecans together and fill the apples wth the mixture.
  • Put the apples in a pan that is 7" in diameter and set on the trivet/rack and put it in the pressure cooker.
  • Put the lid on the pot and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
  • Press the Pressure Cook or Manual button or dial, and then the +/- button or dial to select 11 minutes (9 minutes for a firmer result, 14 minutes for a softer result). Size and type of apple makes a difference. High Pressure.
  • When the cook cycle is finished, let the pot sit undisturbed for 5 minutes (5 minute natural release). Then turn the steam release knob to the Venting position to manually release the remaining steam/pressure.
  • When the pin in the lid drops down, open the lid and use tongs to remove the apples.
  • Serve with some vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert!
