Ingredients

1 cup water
6 medium tart apples, peeled and sliced
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup butter, melted
Vanilla ice cream, optional

Directions

Add 1 cup water to a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, flour and cinnamon. Spoon into a greased 1-1/2-qt. souffle or round baking dish. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, cream and vanilla; pour over apple mixture. In another bowl, combine cracker crumbs, pecans and butter; sprinkle over top.
Loosely cover dish with foil to prevent moisture from getting into the dish. Place on a trivet with handles; lower into pressure cooker. Lock lid; make sure vent is closed. Select manual setting; adjust pressure to high and set time for 12 minutes. When finished cooking, allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure according to manufacturer's directions. Serve warm, with ice cream if desired.

Test Kitchen tips

Choose an apple that will hold up to cooking. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp or Jonagold are good options.

You can use cinnamon graham cracker crumbs or crushed gingersnaps in the place of the regular graham cracker crumbs.
