It's time to break out the favorite flavors of the season. Apple cider, cinnamon, and nutmeg are just a few ingredients that make this dessert taste like the season. This recipe takes less than 30 minutes to make in the Instant Pot!

If you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, then these Instant Pot Apple Dumplings are perfect! I make these in my Ninja Foodi pressure cooker.

The crescent rolls are filled with nutmeg, brown sugar, cinnamon, apple cider, and of course apples. They're sweetened just right so that they don't taste too tart or tangy.

This is the kind of recipe you'll want to make again and again because it's so simple to put together!

This is my favorite season and I love how it makes me crave different foods than in the summertime. One of my favorite fall desserts is Apple Dumplings.

These little bundles of dough wrapped around a cinnamon apple filling remind me of all things cozy and delicious!

You can have these dumplings ready in under 30 minutes using your Instant Pot!

It's an easy way to get dessert on the table quickly without sacrificing flavor or quality ingredients.

How to make The Best Apple Dumpling Recipe Ever

Turn your instant pot on sauté mode. While that heats up, lay out a flat surface to prepare your dumplings.

On a flat surface, lay out one of the perforated triangles from the crescent rolls.

Using one large apple slice, or two small apple slices, lay them on the long side of the crescent roll.

Roll until the end of the triangle is tucked away.

Repeat until every dumpling is rolled.

Add to your instant pot your butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Mix together until everything is well incorporated and your butter is melted.

Add each dumpling to your instant pot nestled in the butter and sugar mixture.

Evenly distribute your apple cider to the instant pot by pouring it a little bit at a time on the sides of the pot. Do not pour directly over the dumplings.

Pressure cook on high for 10 minutes. Close the ceiling valve by making sure it’s pushed away from you.

Once your instant pot has finished and the timer is done, allow it to naturally release and wait until the pin has dropped.

Allowed to cool for a few minutes, and then transfer to your serving dish or plate.

Top with ice cream, caramel sauce, whipped cream, or as is.

Enjoy!
