Instant Pot Apple Bacon Cheddar ABC Chowder

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) salted butter
• 1 pound thick-cut bacon, diced (this is easily done when immediately removed from the fridge since the bacon will be a bit firm and sliced together).
• 1 Vidalia/sweet onion, diced
• 1/2 cup beer (I use Budweiser - see Step 2's note)
• 3 cups chicken, ham, or garlic broth (I use 3 teaspoons Better Than Bouillon base + 3 cups water)
• 1 cup apple juice
• 6 apples (I use 3 Gala and 3 Fuji), peeled, cored and diced into bite-size chunks
• 2 pounds Idaho/russet potatoes, peeled and diced into bite-size chunks
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried or rubbed sage
• 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
• 2-4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (see Jeff's Tips)
• 1-2 tablespoons Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning OR seasoned salt
• 1 teaspoon celery salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice
• Apple butter, approx 1 tablespoon dollops per bowl when serving (optional - See Jeff's Tips)
