2 C of water
4 cooking apples
1/4 C of honey

In a mixing bowl combine the chicken and bread crumbs.
Stir the onions, herbs, salt and pepper into the chicken mixture.
Mix in the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce well.
With the chicken mixture stuff the peppers 2/3 full.
Place the trivet into the cooker then add the water.
Remove the cores from the apples leaving the bottoms intact.
In a small bowl put the honey and cinnamon and stir until well blended.
Between the 4 apples spoon the honey mixture into the cored area.
Set the apples into a large custard dish and cover with foil.
Set the stuffed peppers onto the trivet in the cooker being careful they don’t touch the sides.
Arrange the potatoes around the peppers.
Lay the apple packet over the top of the peppers.
The cooker is quickly brought to high pressure and cook 5 minutes.
The pressure is released by running cold water over the cooker.

It is safe to open the pressure cooker when the pressure regulator has stopped moving and hissing. This ensures all the steam has been released. Never open the lid until all the pressure has been fully released.
