Instant Pot Apple Pie Filling

Homemade pie filling is much better than what you can get from a can. You can have instant pot apple pie filling with cooking only for one minute in the pressure cooker.

Yep, it only cooks for one minute! However, as any instant pot user knows, it does take time to bring the pot up to pressure. Then this recipe requires a natural pressure release for 4 minutes. So in the grand scheme of things, it take more like 20 minutes. But, it is 20 minutes you can just leave the pressure cooker alone to do it’s thing.

If you happen to be one of those people who have not jumped on the instant pot band wagon yet, no worries. You can still make this on the stove top. The stove top method takes about 15 minutes, but does require you to stand at the stove during the cooking time.

Either way, this apple pie filling is so delicious and worth the effort to make. The hardest part is cutting and peeling the apples.

I am going to share a tasty way to enjoy this pie filling with you all tomorrow. So be sure to check back for that recipe.

Notes

For the stovetop: In a sauce pan, toss the diced apples with the lemon juice.  In a bowl, whisk the brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, salt, water together. Pour into the sauce pan and stir with the apples. Simmer the mixture for 10-15 minutes or until fork tender. Remove about 1/2 cup of liquid from the pot and whisk in 1/4 cup of cornstarch. Pour the cornstarch slurry into the pot with the apples. Stir and cook until the sauce has thickened.
