Recipe Expert Tips
- Amount of sliced apples: I used 8 cups of sliced apples. If using a different variety of apple you may need to increase the amount of water to ½ a cup)
- I used the Instant Pot Duo 6 quart. If you are using a newer model or a Lux model increase the amount of water to 1 cup to prevent the Instant Pot Burn Notice.
- Apple varieties: I used Honeycrisp apples for this recipe. Honeycrisp is a juicy apple variety. If you are using a less juicy apple variety you may need to adjust the amount of water using in this recipe.
