Peel, core, and chop the apples. No worries if the chunks aren’t all the same size!

Transfer the chopped apples to your Instant Pot, along with the rest of the ingredients.

Give everything a big stir until it’s well-combined.

Secure the lid on your Instant Pot and press “Manual” or “Pressure Cook.” Pressure cook on high for 15 minutes. Position the steam release valve to “Sealing.” Once the Instant Pot has run its course, allow the steam to release naturally.

Remove the lid of the Instant Pot. Mash the apples using a potato masher if you prefer chunkier apple butter. For creamier apple butter, use an immersion blender, or transfer everything to a regular blender and blend until smooth.

Transfer the apple butter to sanitized jars and refrigerate until ready to use (or serve immediately!)
