Looking for more Instant Pot recipes?
This Instant Pot apple crisp with granola is our first Instant Pot dessert recipe! We’re working on some more Instant Pot dessert recipes, but in the meantime here are a few healthy Instant Pot recipes: This fall Alex and I decided to create a healthy spin on apple crisp, for nostalgia sake. And because we’re obsessed with our Instant Pot, why not try it in a pressure cooker? This Instant Pot apple crisp turned out incredible and cooks in just 2 minutes, featuring organic granola for the topping.
“This Instant Pot apple crisp is definitely going into regular rotation, so good! It felt like my first dessert of the fall season. The lemon zest topping was a really nice added brightness. I especially loved that it was so quick and easy!” -Erin “It was easy and quick and even though it was made in the Instant Pot rather than the oven it made my kitchen smell amazing. The apples came out perfectly tender. My 10 year old girls helped me put it together and asked for seconds!” -Lisa

A few important notes about this Instant Pot apple crisp before you start:
If you use your Instant Pot (pressure cooker) to cook savory items, the sealing ring on the inside of the lid can sometimes pick up flavor. You may want to check the plastic seal on the lid before you make a dessert. If it has an odor, soak it in vinegar for a few hours. We have purchased 2 Instant Pot sealing rings: we use use one for savory recipes and one for sweet recipes. Expect a chewy topping! Since this apple crisp is cooked in a pressure cooker, the granola comes out with a chewy texture. Make sure to garnish! A sprinkle of lemon zest mixed with cinnamon brightens up the darker flavors of the crisp. Then serve with vanilla ice cream, vegan cinnamon ice cream or coconut whipped cream. (Bourbon whipped cream would also be nice!)
