I’m usually a chocolate type of person. About 99% of the time. But this Instant Pot salted caramel apple crumble with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top swayed me to give up chocolate for a night. I love how this apple crumble has an extra portion of buttery crumble topping because we all know that’s the best part!

What kind of apples are best? I love using tangy granny smith apples for this apple crumble recipe. You can also try Jonagold or Honeycrisp apples.

What kind of caramel sauce? For sake of ease I purchased salted caramel ice cream topping. Mine was the Smucker’s brand. If you want you can make homemade salted caramel sauce.

Can I make this in the oven instead? I haven’t tried baking this in the oven but my guess is that it would turn out great. I’d try baking in a 8×8 inch dish for 30 minutes at 350° F (cover with foil for first 20 minutes and then remove for last 10 minutes).

What Equipment Do I Need to Make Instant Pot Salted Caramel Apple Crumble?

  • A 6 or 8 quart Instant Pot*
  • A pot in pot dish like…7×3 inch*, 7×4 inch*, 3 quart liner*
  • Sling/Trivet* to drop the pot-in-pot dish down into pot and to retrieve it
  • Foil to cover the pan

Description

Soft granny smith apples, topped with a buttery crumble top, salted caramel sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 granny apple smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 6 Tbsp melted butter
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Salted caramel ice cream topping (I used Smucker’s Simple Delight Salted Caramel Topping)
  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Add apples into a pot-in-pot pan (I used 7×3 inch Fat Daddios Cake Pan). Drizzle a tablespoon of caramel over the top of the apples. 
  2. In a mixing bowl stir together the flour, sugars, butter and salt. The mixture will be crumbly but stay together when squeezed. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the apples. Drizzle a tablespoon of caramel over the top of the crumble topping. Cover the pan with foil.
  3. Add 1 ½ cups water into bottom of Instant Pot. Place pan on a trivet/sling and lower the pan into the Instant Pot. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 18 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 5-10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid. Remove the pan and foil. 
  4. Scoop into bowls and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and then drizzle each serving with a tablespoon of salted caramel. 

Notes

Equipment needed: 6 or 8 quart Instant Pot*, A pot in pot dish like…7×3 inch*, 7×4 inch*, 3 quart liner*, and a Sling/Trivet* to drop pot-in-pot dish down into pot and to retrieve it

    I had high hopes for this, but it isn’t as good as I thought it would be. I think it would taste better if the crumble top was crunchy, but instead it tastes doughy.

    This looks amazing! Could you add say 1/2 cup oats to the sugar/butter mixture?

    Would you be able to cook two pans at the same time in the 8 quart? Would you need to adjust the cooking time? I need to serve to 8 people.

      Baking is so weird in the IP that I can’t predict it. I wonder if the top pan wouldn’t be done and the bottom one would be done? You may have to experiment.

    How would you work cheddar cheese into this recipe? Because apples and cheddar, yum! That being said, peach is my favorite crumble. Could they be subbed for the apples?

      I haven’t thought about cheese! That’s interesting. As far as peaches go they would probably need less time to pressure cook. I would cut cooking time down to 13-15 minutes.

    Sounds delicious. I love apple crisp because it is a little crunchy on top. Have you ever tried putting your apple crumble under the broiler for a few minutes to crisp it up?

      I have not tried that but you can totally do that. You can also use an air fryer lid for this step if you have one!

    This looks yummy! I am a chocolate freak so am thinking to drizzle chocolate over once cooked. Should be delicious with the caramel in the crumble topping 😉! Thanks so much.
