Whole30 Instant Pot Cooked Apples
An easy dinner side or sweet snack that is quick and easy to make!
Equipment
- Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 3 fuji apples see note
- 1 tablespoon ghee or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice or cinnamon
Instructions
- Turn your instant pot on to saute. Add ghee to melt it while you cut the apples.
- Slice the apples into 8 slices, this can be rough. I often use an apple slicer for these that automatically cuts it into 8 slices. Also, Ieave the skins on - more nutrients and less rep time!
- Put apple slices into the instant pot and sprinkle with cinnamon or apple pie spice. Stir until combined.
- Seal instant pot and steam by pushing the "Steam" button, for 7 minutes. When done, release steam and enjoy warm. Apples should be just tender. So cozy and delicious!
Notes
NOTE: The cooked apples are Whole30 compatible. The Paleo Granola and Whipped Topping pictured are paleo and delicious toppings with the cooked apples, but not Whole30 compatible if you are on a Whole30.

CAN I USE OTHER KINDS OF APPLES? Yes, but keep in mind apples have a broad range of sweetness and firmness. Fuji apples are perfect here because they are hard and sweet. Granny smith are also a good option for another hard apple with the same cooking time, but will be tart. Other apples will need a lower cooking time or they will just turn into mush...i.e. applesauce! ; ).
