I present to you my Pretty Pretty Apple Butter Pumpkin Pie :) I have never used sprinkles before and I got so exited when I started placing the stars on the whipped cream, that i could not stop myself from completely covering the cake with sprinkles..ha ha

This is an easy pie but a little time consuming and the outcome is definitely worth all the effort. Hope you like it :)

Ingredients required :

  • Apples - 3 medium any type

Steps required :

  • Peel and chop the apples.

  • Place all the ingredients in a pressure cooker, mix, put the lid and let it cook for 10 minutes(4 vissels).

  • Once the steam evaporates from the cooker, open the lid. The apples were already in the form of paste, so i did not need to mash it. Very little liquid was left in the cooker, so I cooked it for another 5 minutes to thicken it.

  • Let it cool, store it in a airtight container and refrigerate it till required.
