Instant Pot Apple Cider
A simple recipe for how to make Apple Cider in the Instant Pot.
Equipment
- 1 Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 10 medium apples unpeeled, cored and sliced
- 1/2 cup monk fruit or other sweetener of choice
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon ground
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice ground
- 2 cinnamon sticks whole
- 12 cups water
Instructions
- Place all ingredients, except water, in the Instant Pot.
- Add water.
- Stir together before cooking.
- Set your Instant Pot on high pressure for 20 minutes, and let is release naturally.
- Remove inner pot from the Instant Pot frame, and stir all ingredients, mashing the apples the best you can. (The more you mash, the more flavor is extracted.)
- Place a strainer over a large bowl, and pour the cider over it to strain out apple pieces, spices, and cinnamon sticks.
- Serve immediately or place in the fridge to save for later.
Notes
You don't have to use Monk Fruit if you don't want any added sweetener. We did, and I'm glad we used it. You could also opt for regular sugar or coconut sugar, if desired.
