Best 4 Pressure Cooker Apple Butter Recipes
Apple butter is a delightful confection that has been enjoyed for centuries. Made from slowly simmered apples, it is a sweet and tangy treat that can be enjoyed on its own or used as a spread for toast, crackers, or even ice cream. While it was traditionally made in a large pot over an open fire, today’s cooks can easily make apple butter in a pressure cooker. This method is not only faster than the traditional method, but it also produces a smoother, more flavorful apple butter.

PRESSURE COOKER APPLE BUTTER
This recipe is super easy and super quick(compared to the common method). I use an electric pressure cooker so I'm not sure how it will work with a stove top pressure cooker(I worry that it may scorch) but with this method you have no worries of scorching with an electric presure cooker. FABULOUS!!! I am including altered instructions at the bottom for a chunkier apple butter which I prefer to the smoother version.
