Notes
Safety First: Always make sure the vent is sealed when pressure cooking. When releasing pressure, use a long spoon or oven mitt to avoid getting burned by the steam.
Natural Release Option: If you’re not in a hurry, you can also allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally. This can take an additional 10-15 minutes but can help maintain the apples’ texture.
