Instant Pot

Ingredients

1 can crescent rolls 8 oz (Pillsbury or generic)
1 apple cored, peeled, and cut into 8 wedges
4 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup apple cider

Instructions

Turn Instant Pot on sauté mode.
Unroll and separate crescent dough into pre-cut triangles. Place one apple slice (or two small slices) on top of the tall end of the triangle and roll up until apple slice is wrapped in dough.
Add butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg to Instant Pot. Mix until butter is melted and everything is combined.
Place each dumpling in the pot, pushing down gently so it is surrounded by sauce.
Pour cider down the sides of the pot, evenly distributing. Do not pour directly on top of dumplings.
Pressure cook on high for 10 minutes. Close the ceiling valve by making sure it’s pushed away from you. Natural release, allow pin to drop.

Notes

You can use one large apple or two small apples for this recipe.
