Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 cup Graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup Melted Butter
  • 1 tbsp Granulated Sugar

Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 oz Cream Cheese
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup Sour cream

Topping

  • Cherry Pie Filling

Instructions
 

  • Set trivet inside your Instant Pot, add 1 1/2 cups of water to the bottom of the insert.

Crust

  • In a large mixing bowl, add in the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir with a fork.
  • Press the crumbs in the bottom and sides of a 7-inch springform pan.
  • Place into the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes and work on the filling.

Filling

  • In a large mixing bowl, add in the cream cheese and sugar. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth.
  • Add eggs and mix just until combined. Making sure to not overmix.
  • Add flour and sour cream and mix just until combined. Lastly, add vanilla extract and stir in with a spatula.
  • Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust.
  • Pour water in your instant pot and place pan carefully on the trivet/rack in your Instant Pot. Close the lid and set the valve to "sealing" position.
  • Set pressure to high and the time to 30 minutes.
  • Once the timer is up, do not release pressure but let it release naturally. Mine took about 20-30 minutes. When the valve dropped, carefully open the lid away from your face and let any remaining steam escape. Using a paper towel, gently blot the surface of your cheesecake from any built up condensation.
  • Take the cheesecake out. Let it cool to room temperature and then place in the fridge to chill overnight or at least 4 hours.
  • Add pie filling to the top and serve. ENJOY!

Notes

To cut perfect slices, clean the knife after each cut.

Apple Turnovers INGREDIENTS

Baking & Spices

  • 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour for dusting
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp Salt
  • 1 lb Puff pastry (2 sheets) thawed according to package instructions
  • 1 egg+ 1 Tbsp water for EGG WASH

Produce

  • 4 Granny Smith apples (4 medium) peeled, cored and diced into 1/3" thick pieces

FOR THE GLAZE

  • 1/2 cup Powered Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven to 400˚F. Remove puff pastry from the freezer and thaw according to instructions while making and cooling the apple filling.
  • In a deep skillet, melt 2 Tbsp butter over medium heat. Add diced apples and cook, stirring occasionally until softened (5 min).
  • Reduce heat to low and stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and salt. Continue to simmer 3 minutes until apples are soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  • Use a rolling pin to roll the first sheet of thawed pastry to a square. With a pizza cutter, cut into 4 equal-sized squares. Place cooled apple mixture over half of each square, leaving at least a 1/2" border.
  • Beat together 1 egg and 1 Tbsp water. Brush eggwash lightly on edges of the pastry (just enough to seal), bring the edges together and crimp tightly along the edges with a fork to seal.
  • Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, keeping them at least 1" apart. With a paring knife, cut 2-3 small slits in the top of each turnover. Brush the tops with egg wash and bake 20-23 minutes or until golden and puffed.
  • While turnovers are still warm, stir together powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream (adding to your desired consistency) and drizzle glaze over turnovers.
  • ENJOY!

Notes

To reduce the changes of filling leaking out of pastries, refrigerate uncovered for 20 minutes before brushing with egg wash and baking (this step is optional).
