It’s finally the beginning of September and we’re enjoying a slight cool off in weather here in the Midwest. And, as much as I enjoyed our Summer, I am one-hundred percent ready for all things Autumn! After apple picking last year, I needed creative ways to go through about 25-pounds of apples. One of my favorite ways to enjoy those apples all year is to make this Instant Pot Apple Butter Recipe!

What you’ll need
If you’ve followed along with some of my other recipes, you’ll know that I am very partial to my Instant Pot. It’s so easy to use and makes the recipes extra delicious. But you can use any other electric pressure cooker. Besides that, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 4 lbs. of Granny Smith apples
- water
- molasses
- sugar
- light brown sugar
- nutmeg
- cinnamon
- all spice
- lemon juice
- vanilla extract

That’s it! Easy peasy! And, if you haven’t had apple butter before, you’re in for a treat. It’s sweet, creamy, and delicious.
