SweeTango® apples give this cake an unforgettable flavor that your family will clamor for year after year. And using an instant pot, baking this recipe is as easy as pie… or easier!

SweeTango® Apples: Perfect For Baking!

Why does the apple variety we used matter? Because the SweeTango® stands out from the crowd! It features a remarkably loud and satisfying crunch and is perfect for both baking and snacking out of hand. With a hint of citrus, honey, and spice in its juicy flavor, this apple is sure to become a favorite. SweeTango® apples are available from mid-August or early September through November or early December.

Apples aren’t just for flavor, though! At The Produce Moms, we always strive to cook up recipes full of nutrients, and this SweeTango Instant Pot Dump Cake is no exception. Dessert may not be known as the healthiest course in a meal, but nutrient-packed SweeTango® apples give this cake a boost. With no fat or cholesterol, apples promote good gut and heart health. This cake will make your family smile and you can feel good serving it to them!

SweeTango Apples are great for baking!

Baking a Instant Pot Apple Dump Cake

The SweeTango Instant Pot Dump Cake can be found in our new eBook, SweeTango® for ALL Eating Occasions. Check it out to find more recipes that complement the unique flavors of SweeTango® apples. In this recipe, we’ll use vanilla and cinnamon to do just that!

To make this cake, you’ll need to place the cake mixture in an oven-safe bowl inside your instant pot. We used foil to make a sling to safely lower it down into the pot. Burning your hands on the pot really puts a damper on the fun of baking!

This cake is delicious alone, but it’s even better topped with a bit of ice cream! Vanilla works just fine, but feel free to get creative. A scoop of butter pecan ice cream might just take the cake!
