Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and get a baking sheet ready with parchment paper.
- Mix together all dry ingredients: all-purpose and whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until coarse crumbs form.
- Add milk, egg, and vanilla extract then stir until just combined. Gently fold in chopped apples.
- Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Place baking sheet inside pressure cooker on a trivet above water. Seal lid and cook for 10 minutes using broth depth for steaming.
- Use quick release carefully when cooking is done. Open lid when float valve drops.
- Transfer baking sheet back to oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and tender.
Notes
The cold butter is key for a flaky texture. Use firmer apples for juicy bursts and richer milk for better flavor. Use quick release to avoid overcooking.
