Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized baking apples such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1-2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg optional
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter diced
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 3/4 cup apple cider apple juice or water
Instructions
Prepare the Apples:
- Wash and core the apples, leaving about 1/2 inch of the bottom intact to create a well for the filling.
Mix the Filling:
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- mix in the golden raisins
Stuff the Apples:
- Divide the filling mixture evenly among the hollowed-out centers of the apples, pressing down gently to pack the filling.
- Place in the Instant Pot:
- Pour the apple juice or water into the bottom of the Instant Pot.
- Place a trivet inside the Intant pot.
- Arrange the stuffed apples upright in the Instant Pot, ensuring they are not touching the sides.
Cook in the Instant Pot:
- Close the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to the sealing position.
- Select the "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" setting and adjust the time according to your desired level of softness (see the timing suggestions in the previous response). I feel like 7-9 minutes is the golden timeframe.
- Once the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural release.
Serve:
- Carefully remove the baked apples from the Instant Pot using tongs or a slotted spoon.
- Pour that delicious caramel sauce into a measuring cup.
- Serve the baked apples warm as they are or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
