As the temperatures dip outside, I find myself craving warm, hearty meals and decadent desserts, especially ones that are heavy on the fall flavors. With apples, cranberries and pumpkins in season, it's a fun time to bake and eat like a locavore. That's why I rounded up 8 fall Instant Pot dessert recipes that are so delicious, you'll want to eat them all year round.
Besides the smell of pumpkin spice lattes wafting through the air, there are lots of other signs that fall is here. First and foremost, my Instagram feed has been completely overrun by apple orchard shots. It seems like everyone has gone a little apple-crazy this year, and I'm not going to lie, I've caught the apple fever. I plan on taking my littles to the orchard this weekend and getting apples by the bushelful. That's why I was stoked to find so many instant pot recipes that utilize apples in such creative, delicious and effortless ways.
Below you'll find several apple-centric desserts, as well as some other great fall-inspired treats. From clove cranberry applesauce to pumpkin pudding to chocolate fudgy brownies, there's an instant pot recipe below that's sure to convince your tastebuds that fall really is the best season.
