Cook’s Notes
You can choose to not peel the apples, adding fiber to the soup.
Tips and Variations:
For extra flavor, try roasting the butternut squash and apples before adding them to the Instant Pot.
Adjust the consistency by adding more or less of the cream you choose to use: heavy cream or coconut cream.
Add olive oil to the Instant Pot and select the SAUTE function.
When oil has heated, add onion and saute until soft, 2-3 minutes. Add apples, salt and spices. Stir to combine.
Next add broth and deglaze using a wooden spoon to scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
Add squash and stir. Turn the pot off selecting CANCEL , then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
Select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function. Program the Instant Pot for 5 minutes using the +/- keys or nob.
When the time is up, quick-release the remaining pressure, then select CANCEL to turn off the pot.
Use a handheld immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Cool slightly, then stir in cream and maple syrup.

Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt and cubed apples, if desired.
