Recipe Summary

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 20 minutes
• Total Time: 35 minutes
• Servings: 6
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 6 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple slices and lemon juice to prevent browning. Add granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch to the apples. Stir well to coat.
2. Transfer the seasoned apples to the Instant Pot.
3. In another bowl, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and salt until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the apples in the Instant Pot.
4. Secure the Instant Pot lid and set it to “Manual” mode for 8 minutes. Ensure the vent is set to “Sealing.”
5. Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then perform a quick release to let out any remaining steam.
6. Transfer the apple crisp to a serving dish or skillet. If desired, broil in an oven for 3-5 minutes until the topping is golden and crispy.
7. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for an extra indulgent treat.

Helpful Tips

• Choose firmer apple varieties like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for a better texture.
• For a nutty twist, add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the oat mixture.
• If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the sugar in the apple filling and topping by a few tablespoons.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover apple crisp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.

Enhance your autumn feast by pairing the apple crisp with whipped cream, caramel sauce, or a delicious spiced chai latte.
