Instructions
Wash apples, and cut into segments (about 1/8ths) and remove seeds.
Add the water and your cut apples to the Instant Pot, and secure the lid.
Cook at high pressure for 20 minutes, and use a natural pressure release.
Blend the apples (you can use an immersion blender in the pot, or remove and use a standard blender and then place the blended apples back in the Instant Pot).
Remove the lid, turn on sauté and set it at low. Leave it simmering for about 45 minutes, but check and stir every so often until you reach the desired thickness.
Can your apple butter, or store in an air-tight container in the fridge for about a week or the freezer for a few months.
