Apple Chopping Tips

This recipe is really fast! The only thing that takes a little time is chopping up the apples. There are a few things you can do to save you a little bit of time in the morning. I have one of these apple corer and slicers and it is definitely a time saver. One of these days I want to get this Spiralizer attachment for my Kitchen Aid mixer, but since this recipe only calls for one or two apples I probably wouldn’t use it for such a small amount. 🙂

Double the Servings

A quick note. While this recipe only feeds four, you can easily double it. Just remember that double the ingredients does NOT mean double the time. Still only cook it for 7 minutes.

Sweet and Savory Sealing Rings

Have you noticed that the lid to your Instant Pot smells a lot like your previous meals?? Turns out it’s the sealing rings. They absorb the odors of the foods you cook. I have been cooking a lot of savory dishes and I will be moving on to more dessert style recipes soon. It just seems wrong to cook a cheesecake when my Instant Pot still smells like Beef Stew! A friend of mine mentioned that you can purchase a two pack of the Sealing Rings and use one for sweet and one for savory. Definitely a great idea and I will be adding it to my Amazon cart this week!

I hope you enjoy and please let me know if you have any questions!
