Cinnamon Red Hot Apple Butter

Instant Pot Directions

Peel and core the apples. Slice the apples into 6 slices.

Add the apples, vanilla extract, red hot candies, brown sugar, and water to the liner of the Instant Pot.

Set the pressure to high and set a timer for 15 minutes. Let it naturally release for 20 minutes then quick release if needed.

When the pressure has been released, remove the lid and use an immersion blender to blend until smooth.

Set the Instant Pot to sauté and bring the easy Instant Pot apple butter to a simmer. Then turn off the Instant Pot and let the apple butter cool. Sauté again if needed to thicken your apple butter in an Instant Pot.

Let it cool and you can eat it right away. Store in the fridge or in the freezer.

Slow Cooker Directions

Place all of the ingredients except the vanilla in a low cooker. Cook on low uncovered for 10 hours or high for 5 hours, stirring every hour.

When it has thickened and turned dark brown, use an immersion blender to blend until smooth.

Add the vanilla extract and cook for 1-2 more hours or until thick.
