  • Stir together, then place the lid on your pressure cooker. Set the time for 0 to 1 minute. 1 minute will give you softer apples.

Notes

  • If you want to mix things up, you can try using the same spices and citrus that we use in our oven-baked Ina Garten Apple Crisp recipe.
  • Make sure not to peel the skin completely off of your apples. It’s best to leave some on.
  • Don’t use instant or quick oats. Only use old-fashioned oats for this recipe.
  • Make sure not to drain all of the liquid from the pot. You want a little bit left when you add the crumble topping to allow it to thicken.
