We loved this so much we made it and ate it on back to back nights. Greg is always begging me to make apple crisp on Sunday nights. It’s his jam. I’m more of a fudgy wudgy person. Chocolate is typically my jam. However we both agreed that this Instant Pot snickerdoodle apple cobber was a delicious and satisfying treat. Don’t forget the vanilla ice cream!

How to make make Instant Pot snickerdoodle apple cobbler:

  1. Slice up some apples. I prefer the tart granny smith apples that are good for baking because they retain their shape. You lay them in a pan that fits inside your Instant Pot (for pot-in-pot cooking). I used my mini bundt cake pan* and also my Fat Daddios 7×3 inch pan*. Toss the apples with brown sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice.
  2. Make the snickerdoodle cookie dough by creaming together butter, sugar, egg and vanilla. Then add in the dry ingredients. Drop the dough, by tablespoons, on top of the apples. This part is lots of fun!
  3. Snickerdoodles wouldn’t be complete without some cinnamon sugar on top. Sprinkle some on top of the cookie dough. Cover the pan with a paper towel (to prevent dripping) and then foil.
  4. Use a sling/trivet to lower the pan into your 6 or 8 quart Instant Pot*. The Instant Pot must have some water in the bottom to come to pressure. I used 1 ½ cups. This is sufficient for the 6 or 8 quart pot.
  5. Use the Steam button to pressure cook for 22 minutes. Use a quick release.
  6. Serve up the cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Repeat again the next night.

Can I bake this in the oven or slow cooker instead?

If you’d rather bake this scrumptious treat in the oven go for it! No need to add the paper towel or foil. Just pop the pan into the oven and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.

To make the cobbler in the slow cooker add apples and cookie dough topping directly into the slow cooker insert. Cover and cook on high for 90 minutes to 2 hours, or until cooked through.

        Do you have an actual Instant Pot or another brand? I thought all Instant Pots had steam button. If you don’t have it then just use pressure cook.

      Thanks for your recipes.
      The steaming time is given as both 22 & 25 minutes. Which one did you find works better?

      I have everything to make this except the cream of tartar. Is it necessary or is there a substitution I can make? I looks wonderful!

      I have an Instant Pot Mini 3 quart. Can I make this in that? should the time be the same?

        do you have a pan for pot in pot cooking in the 3 quart. If so, yes you could make it. But you’ll probably have to half the recipe and the cooking time will be the same.

      This looks great. Do you think I could use a dairy department for a rolled cooking product instead of your cookie recipe?? I am courious. Thanks

        I bet that would work well. You’ll probably only need half the roll.
