Sprinkled with cinnamon and stuffed with raisins, these Instant Pot baked apples are so delicious!

How To Make Baked Apples In The Instant Pot
Step 1: Carve holes on top of apples and put in Instant Pot in a single layer.
Step 2: Sprinkle apples with cinnamon.
Step 3: Stuff apples with raisins.
Step 4: Pressure cook the apples.
Add 1/3 cup of water to the Instant Pot. Close the lid of the Instant Pot, set the valve to Sealing position, press the “Pressure Cook” or “Manual” button and set the time for 5 minutes if you like firm baked apples or 10 minutes if you like really soft baked apples. I like them really soft, so the apples you see on the pictures were cooked for 10 minutes, thus the split skin – that’s exactly how I like them ;)
Enjoy these delicious naturally sweet healthy baked apples! They are mouthwatering!

Just wondering if there is something else to replace raisins? I have people who dislike them. But would love to make baked apples
You can replace them with dried cranberries, walnuts, pecans, fresh or frozen blueberries, raspberries, chopped strawberries or jam.
The pressure setting is conspicuously absent from this recipe? High or Low?
High
Do I need to plump the raisins prior to putting on top of the apples or will they plump while under pressure?
They’ll plump while under pressure
