Do you need to peel the apples before adding them to the Instant Pot?
You do. Before you cook the apples in the Instant Pot, you need to peel off the outside of the apple. It’s not going to be a good idea at all. the apple skins won’t break down well and will stay hard while the apples will be soft. It will make for a really strange texture and consistency. So seriously don’t!
Is the consistency of these apples like applesauce?
I would say no they aren’t like applesauce at all. There will still be the shape to the apple slices but they are going to be a bit mushier than apples. And if it’s applesauce texture that you’re going for, you can use a mashed potato masher once these apples are done cooking in the Instant Pot and mash them up easily as well. The texture will still be a bit chunky but it works.
What Apples Are Best For Cooking In The Instant Pot?
There are many varieties of apples you can use for use in the Instant Pot. We use honey crisp, granny smith, pink lady and golden delicious mostly. A soft apple will break down and give you more of an chunky apple sauce.

What are some fun toppings for these Instant Pot Cinnamon Apples?
The options are really endless. One of our favorites is whipped cream but you can also sprinkle on brown sugar and extra cinnamon as well. And if you’re really wanting to add in some sweetness, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, too.
It’s amazing how these toppings can suddenly transform this simple apple dessert into tasting just like homemade apple pie! It’s so delicious and simple to make! And don’t forget the caramel syrup!! Drizzle that over the top for extra deliciousness.
Caramel Syrup can be found in the ice cream section of most grocery stores. Some stores may also have it in the isle with syrup or honey. I used Hershey’s Caramel Syrup. It’s thick and rich, and adds a wonderful flavor drizzled across the whipped cream or vanilla ice cream with the apples.

Can you transform Insta Pot Recipes to Crock Pot Recipes? And how. I just can’t have anymore cooking appliances.
Yes you can. It depends on the recipe as to how long to cook for I would start with 3-4 hours on low on this and see how it is. Are the apples soft enough for you?
