Instant Pot's Applelicious Butter Adventure
In the pot it looked like the peels were on,and in the cooked verion it looked like the peels were off. What is the best way ?
I left the peels on, they soften so you can't tell when blended. But you can peel them if you prefer.
You recipe is great. Unfortunately my wife said it wasn't enough to share with some of her friends. How do you suggest I double or triple the recipe and cooking time please.
Thanks!! This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled, as long as it fits below the maximum fill line. The cooking time will remain the same.
How much butter does this make?
Very easy, happy happy not to have to hover over a pot. Notes: I used my own Parkway apples, which are about the size of golf balls, so I had to guesstimate how much per batch. Decided to fill to halfway on pot, worked well. In future, I'd suggest specifying apples by weight, cored. Don't know why, but the recipe still made more apple sauce than apple butter. Thanks.
That makes sense, thank you for your feedback! I will keep that in mind. And I'm glad you liked the recipe!
Can you freeze the apple butter?
Yes, you can! It will stay good in the freezer for 6 months to a year.
instead of a blender, can you use an immersion blender. one less big item to clean
Yes absolutely, that's a great idea. I'm always looking for ways to make less dirty dishes
how much sugar?
1/4 cup
