Apple Cider is one of my favorite things to make in the Fall! I love enjoying it throughout the holiday season. An apple delight with citrus, cinnamon, and clove notes throughout. So easy to make in the Instant Pot!
Add the cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and dark brown sugar. Cover fruit with water.
Cook on high pressure for 15-minutes followed by a 20-minute natural pressure release.
Mash fruit in Instant Pot with potato masher. Strain through cheesecloth covered strainer.
Adjust sweetness to desired level.
Notes
You can add more water than this, but DO NOT fill past the max fill line for your pot.Adjust the sweetness with honey or more brown sugar depending on your tastes. Add or remove spices based on your preferences. If it tastes to citrus-y then add a little 100% apple juice to even out the flavors. Add fresh vanilla beans to the mixture for something different.To make this a hard cider, add rum or bourbon to this. Vodka will work too.
