If I could find a way to cook everything that I love and want in my Instant Pot, I would. You may have noticed a trend with me about Instant Pot recipes…and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon! This Instant Pot Apple Pumpkin Cake is my latest obsession and I seriously cannot get enough!

When you think of Fall weather, the two flavors of apple and pumpkin pop into your mind. What I love about this cake is that it combines BOTH flavors into a flavor explosion that will change everything you thought you knew about Fall treats.

For as long as I can remember, it’s always been that you had to choose one or the other: apple OR pumpkin. But this cake changed that, and did the unthinkable of combining them together!

And let me tell ya…it works. Once that temperature gets below 80 degrees, it’s Fall time in my mind and I start prepping myself and my Instant Pot for this delicious cake. Once the smell starts wafting through the house, everyone knows that it’s “officially” Fall as well.

If you’re looking for an amazing dessert recipe to welcome in Autumn, this is the one for you!
