Author Karen @ The Tasty Bite

Ingredients

  • 8 medium apples cored and quartered (I used gala apples)
  • 1 orange sliced
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1/2 tsp whole cloves
  • 1/4 tsp whole allspice
  • 1 star anise
  • 8 cups water
  • Brown sugar or sweetener of choice to taste

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in Instant Pot and secure lid. Turn to "Manual" mode on “High Pressure” setting, and set timer for 15 minutes.
  • Once the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally until all of the steam has released and the valve has dropped.
  • Discard orange slices and spices, then mash the apples with a potato masher to release the juices. Strain the solids from the liquids using a fine mesh sieve.
  • Sweeten with brown sugar or your choice of sweetener if desired.

Notes

*Leftover cider can be store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
