INSTANT POT® APPLE BUTTER PORK LOIN

Instant Pot® Apple Butter Pork Loin image

An Instant Pot® version of my family's favorite pork loin. I buy the half loins and cut them down myself so you may have to adjust times accordingly for the size loin you have. All spices are to taste.

Ingredients

1 (3.5 pound) boneless pork loin roast
¼ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
¼ teaspoon onion powder to taste
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil, or to taste
1 cup apple juice
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup apple butter

Steps:

Season pork loin with garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), add oil, and select Saute function. Add pork loin to the hot pot and sear on all sides to brown, 6 to 8 minutes.
Pour apple juice into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add onions. Top pork loin with apple butter. Cancel Saute function.
Close and lock the lid and seal the valve. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 20 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
When cooking is complete, let the pot sit for another 15 minutes. Then release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
Transfer pork to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then cut into 3/4-inch slices.
While the pork is resting, use the Saute setting to reduce the sauce if desired. Serve pork loin with sauce.
