Also here is a secret, you can 1 1/2 times the topping! The topping is the very best part of the Insta Pot Apple Crisp. I love it cold, or warm with some ice cream on top. Also if you like a lot of cinnamon, you can use more. I think this amount is just right, but we all have our own preferences.
How Do I Get Insta Pot Apple Crisp, More Crisp?
- Insta Pot Apple Crisp doesn’t get crisp like it does when it is baked in the oven, it is a little firm.
- However, placing it under the broiler for just a few minutes will crisp it up on the outside, leaving a sweet, delicious apple filling underneath!
I was also thinking that if you love pecans you could add a few chopped pecans just for a little extra crunch. We also love real cream, whipped and sweetened. Let me know how your families like it?
I also use a crisp apple, one that is sweet. You can use some tart apples, if that is your preference. I grew up with tart apples and I think that I ate too many. We had a crab apple tree and I just don’t know how people like those tart little things.
It makes my mouth pucker up just thinking about them. Ooh! However, it is kind of fun to mix them also. You could have some that are tart and some that are sweet. Either way, this is just a fantastic dessert.
