Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Water (for the pressure cooker)
- 4 Apples (about 7-8 oz ea)
- ½ cup Butter, softened
- ¼ tsp Vanilla
- 1 Tbsp Cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
- ⅓ cup Chopped Pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Pour 1 1/2 cups of water in the inner liner of the pressure cooker.
- Wash and core the apples, leaving some of the bottom intact to hold the filling in. Use a melon baller or similar spoon-type utensil to scoop out a bit of the flesh. Not too much!
- Mix the butter, vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar, and pecans together and fill the apples wth the mixture.
- Put the apples in a pan that is 7" in diameter and set on the trivet/rack and put it in the pressure cooker.
- Put the lid on the pot and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
- Press the Pressure Cook or Manual button or dial, and then the +/- button or dial to select 11 minutes (9 minutes for a firmer result, 14 minutes for a softer result). Size and type of apple makes a difference. High Pressure.
- When the cook cycle is finished, let the pot sit undisturbed for 5 minutes (5 minute natural release). Then turn the steam release knob to the Venting position to manually release the remaining steam/pressure.
- When the pin in the lid drops down, open the lid and use tongs to remove the apples.
- Serve with some vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert!
