Core the apples and then cut them into quarters (leave the peels on).
Add the apples and the water to the Instant Pot.
Cover and cook for 20 minutes at high pressure.
Naturally release pressure.
Puree the contents of the pot with an immersion blender (or put everything into a blender and then put the puree back into the pot).
Add the spices and sugar to the pot.
Press sauté and adjust to low. Cook uncovered for 15-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apple butter is as thick as you’d like it to be.
