Super Easy Instant Pot Apple Crisp
This apple crisp can be made in 15 minutes with the Instant Pot! It is super easy and super tasty, especially if you serve it with vanilla ice cream. Yum!
Note: To make this recipe vegan, make with a non-dairy butter substitute such as margarine and do not serve with dairy ice cream.
Making Instant Pot Apple Crisp
For best results, be sure to peel your apples and and chop them into rather small pieces. You don’t even need any special spring form pans or such for this. Everything just goes into the InstaPot and then after 8 minutes of pressure it is done. Beats 30-40 minutes in the oven any day!
You can use oatmeal on top, or substitute granola if you desire. I even eat this for breakfast sometimes!
Here is how to make air fryer Granola if you want to use that.
Using the Instant Pot Duo Crisp or Ninja Foodi
Variations of Apple Crisp
You can vary this recipe in several ways. For example, instead of using oatmeal, try using crushed graham crackers. I have even used cookies such as Oreos, or mixed in homemade crumbled sugar cookies, such as the unfrosted version from this Crumbl pink sugar cookie recipe. Don’t be afraid to get creative with your recipes!

Can this recipe be doubled?
Yes, you should be able to double it just fine.
Easy to veganize. There is vegan butter and plant-based ice cream
Rather than making in the Stainlsteel main pot, can this be made in another pot inside the Stainless Steel pot? If so, I realize water needs to be put in the main pot perhaps 1 C., the the secondary pot with apple mixture placed on the trivet. Am wondering if the 1/2 c. of water would still be needed to add with the apples.
You likely could do that. However, I do not know the water quantities needed. I would venture a guess that your estimates would work. You might not need as much as 1/2 cup with the apples though since they release their own liquid when cooked.
What is the best apple to use?
I like to use either Grammy Smith or Honey Crisp. Golden delicious works really well too.
