Insta Pot Apple Cheesecake Recipe
Mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and ground cinnamon. Press the mixture firmly and evenly onto the bottom and 1/2-inch up the sides of a a 7-inch springform pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Instead of nonstick spray, you can line the pan with parchment paper.
Bake the crust at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 5 minutes, and set it aside to cool at room temperature.
In a stand mixer or with electric beaters, cream together sugar and cream cheese until no lumps remain.
Mix eggs in one at a time.
Stir in sour cream, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg, until smooth.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker crust.
Tap the pan firmly on the counter a few times to remove air bubbles.
Press the apple slices gently into the top of the cheesecake. Sprinkle with a light dusting of nutmeg and cinnamon.
Cover the top of the pan with foil.
Fill the Instant Pot with two cups of water. Make a sling out of aluminum foil to lower the pan into the Instant Pot.
Close and seal the lid of the Instant Pot. Set for a manual high-pressure time of 35 minutes. When the time has finished, allow for a natural release for 12 minutes before releasing remaining steam.
Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for another hour, and then refrigerate for at least four hours.
