Ingredients

8 apples, quartered
1 cup brown sugar
3 cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

Add apples to your Instant Pot or multi-functional pressure cooker. Sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, and cloves over the apples. Fill the pot with water, being careful not to exceed the maximum fill line. Secure the lid, and select high pressure, setting the timer for 60 minutes, allowing 10-15 minutes for pressure to build.
After pressure cooking, carefully release pressure using the quick-release method (about 5 minutes). Remove the lid, and take out the cinnamon sticks. Use a potato masher or spoon to mash the apples. Then, return the cinnamon sticks to the pot.
Secure the lid again, and select high pressure, setting the timer for another 60 minutes, allowing 10-15 minutes for pressure to build adequately.
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method again (about 5 minutes). Remove the lid, and pour the cider through a strainer or cheesecloth, discarding the remaining solids.
