Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ lemon, juiced
3 pounds apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
1 cup dark brown sugar
¾ cup white sugar
¼ cup honey
¼ cup unfiltered apple juice
2 cinnamon sticks
¼ teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

  • Place lemon juice into the insert of a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and pour in about 4 inches of water. Drop apples into the lemon water as you slice them to keep them from browning.
  • Drain the apples. Add apple juice, brown sugar, white sugar, honey, cinnamon sticks, and ground cloves. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 8 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove the cinnamon sticks.
  • Use an immersion blender to puree the apple butter. Mix well with a spoon. Close and lock the lid. Select Slow Cooker Function according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 60 minutes.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Test the consistency by putting a small amount on a plate and refrigerating for 10 minutes. The final consistency should be thick enough to spread with a knife. If it is too liquid for your preference, cook for 1 more hour.
